Welcome Little Patriots to the Constitution! Liberty is going to help us learn a bit more about George Washington and the very impressive life he lived! Time to start learning!
Warm-up: Have the students participate in the warm-up below
As a warm-up, have students independently write down their answers to the following question:
- What do you think the phrase “devotion to duty” means?
Have a classroom discussion with the following questions:
- What does the word “duty” mean?
- How can you use the word “duty” in other sentences?
- What do you think the phrase “devotion to duty” means? (Share what they wrote down.)
Students will see that everyone views “duty” through a different lens. Explain to the class that by the end of these lessons, they will probably have a new understanding of the word “duty.”
