This lesson plan aims to teach middle school students about George Washington and the American Revolutionary War through analyzing the song "Yankee Doodle." Students will first read a biography of George Washington and create a timeline of major events in his life. They will then read about the origins and lyrics of "Yankee Doodle," creating another timeline based on the song. By comparing the two timelines, students will identify any overlapping events and how the song portrayed American colonists. Finally, students will write an additional verse about a Washington event not depicted in the song.

This document discusses the development of the first graded vocal series in 19th century American music education. It outlines how over 100 school music books were published before the Civil War with no standardization.

Popular series included The Song Garden, First Steps in Music, The National Music Course, and The Normal Music Course. These helped establish music as a core school subject by taking a more "scientific" approach. Standardization through graded series laid the foundation for modern music education.

This document provides background information on a planned archaeological survey of the Slave Cemetery at George Washington's Mount Vernon estate. The cemetery, which is believed to have been used from 1760 to 1860, is the last known burial ground for Washington's enslaved laborers and freedmen that has not been developed. The survey aims to delineate the cemetery boundaries and identify individual graveshafts in order to better honor and protect the burial site.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
1. This activity challenges your students to write new verses for the popular 18th-century song,
Yankee Doodle.
Background
Think of the role music plays in our lives. We listen to music for fun. Music can help us learn
new lessons. Music is used in special ceremonies. We hear hymns in church. Schools, colleges,
and universities have their own special songs. Whenever the President of the United States
appears at a state function, the band plays “Hail to the Chief.” Two hundred years ago, many,
many songs were written to celebrate George Washington.
One of the most popular songs in the 18th
century was called Yankee Doodle Dandy. Although it
was originally a British song, it became a popular American marching song. Look at the verses
on the next page. These were some of the popular verses during the American Revolution. There
are a number of web sites you can visit for more information on 18th-century music including:
www.earlyamerica.com/music
www.contemplator.com/america
www.18thcenturymusic.com
Getting Started
Brainstorm with your students the different kinds of music they hear on a daily basis. Do they
associate different music with different places? For example, what types of music do they hear at
sporting events? In church? At school? How many different kinds of radio stations can they
identify? What does that tell them about music today? Tell them that in the 17th-, 18th-, and 19th
centuries, the same popular tunes were used over and over with different lyrics.
Defining the 18th-century
Working in groups or individually, ask your students to read the lyrics to Yankee Doodle and
write down words or phrases that are unfamiliar to them. Discuss, look up and define those
words as a class and replace them with a modern word or phrase with the same meaning.
Celebrating in Music
and Song
2. Yankee Doodle Dandy
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni
Father and I went down to camp Then I saw a swamping gun
Along with Captain Gooding As large as logs of Maple
And there we saw the men and boys Upon a very little cart
As thick as hasty pudding A load for Fathers cattle
Yankee Doodle keep it up Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy, Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the music and the step, Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls by handy And with the girls by handy
There was Captain Washington Every time they shot it off
Upon a slapping Stallion It took a keg of powder
A-giving orders to his men- Made a noise like Father’s gun
There must have been a million Only a nation louder
Yankee Doodle keep it up Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy, Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the music and the step, Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls by handy And with the girls by handy
3. Song Writing Challenge
Working either individually or in groups, assign your students to write at least two new verses to
Yankee Doodle that tell us about George Washington’s life and accomplishments. Students can,
if they choose, write a new chorus, or keep the original 18th-century version.
OR
Break your class into groups. Assign each group a specific period of George Washington’s life:
Boyhood, French and Indian War, Farmer, Commander in Chief, President of the Constitutional
Convention, and President. Each group will write a new four-line verse for Yankee Doodle
describing Washington in the role/career their group has been assigned.
Ask each group, in chronological order of Washington’s accomplishments, to sing their verse
and describe how it tells about George Washington’s accomplishments.
Celebrating George Washington in Music and Song
Invite each class who has composed a George Washington version of Yankee Doodle to sing at
your school’s Dedication Ceremony outlined in the George Washington Celebration Week
activity set.
Classes can send their songs to education@mountvernon.org to be shared on the Mount Vernon
for Teachers Facebook Page
