This The New York City Draft Riots: A Role Play lesson plan also includes:
- Activity
- Worksheet
- Join to access all included materials
This is a fun, thought-provoking lesson plan. Learners use census data from 1855, primary source documents, their historical knowledge, and information regarding the New York City Draft Riots of 1863 to construct and engage in a role-play. The class is divided into either African-American or Irish immigrant households; they then act out several scenarios. Great lesson plan!
