✏️A student-centered resource to help students learn and practice research skills, report writing, project and presentation skills.

Students will use this project-based unit to learn about and report on Anne Hutchinson. Anne Hutchinson was a religious liberal who became one of the founders of Rhode Island after her banishment from Massachusetts Bay Colony. She organized weekly meetings of Boston women to discuss recent sermons and to give expression to her own theological views. Before long, her sessions attracted ministers and magistrates as well. She stressed the individual’s intuition as a means of reaching God and salvation, rather than the observance of institutionalized beliefs and the precepts of ministers.

✏️This notebooking project unit can be assigned individually or within cooperative groups. Use it within a Language Arts classroom or a Social Studies / U.S. History classroom. Very flexible and cross-curricular! After completing the written portion of this resource, you can grade it (or) assign students to do an oral and/or audio-visual presentation based on their findings/work.
