Connecting social studies and American literature, students study the Great Awakening and draw comparisons between its impact on England and on parts of Colonial America. They research the lives and experiences of people who lived during the movement and create a timeline based on their findings. Finally, they write a summary of the Great Awakening's historical impact and make connections with the American Revolution.
