Last week's History Arts Group took some time away from the Hamilton Education Program to visit the Be Washington! feature from George Washington's Mount Vernon.
Students consulted with "expert" advisors to make a decision for themselves, whether to stand their ground, retreat, or move forward to take the battle to the British in Princeton. They didn't all match the choices George Washington made, but there were no wrong answers.
Students enjoyed the video and presentation style of the Be Washington! activity. We will repeat this in our regular classroom, later in the year, and even do another episode or two.
