# 1 Timeline activity:
First research Colonel George Croghan by
reading the online links of his life. Using
a long length of butcher paper or a clothesline
and clothespins to attach dates to events,
design a timeline. Find major dates and events
in Colonel Croghan’s life. Be sure
the space time intervals equally. Once the
timeline is created, devise a parallel timeline
that marks events the country experienced
during Croghan’s lifetime.

#2 Roadside Historical
Markers:
Visit some historical
markers within Sandusky County such
Ball’s
Battlefield, Spiegel Grove and Whittaker’s
Acres. Create a modern marker which would
attract attention to the event of the
Battle of Fort Stephenson. Where would
you place the marker? What wording would
you use? What illustration or graphic?
Be sure to include the five W’s:
who, what, when, where and why. Would
you include more than one marker for
this battle? |
|
#3 Compare and Contrast :
Using online links to the military leaders
in this battle choose two of the following:
General Proctor, Colonel George Croghan,
General William Henry Harrison, or Tecumseh.
Study their lives and successes. Create a
Venn diagram on butcher paper and name the
overlapping area, “commonalities.” List
contrasting characteristics and outcomes
in their lives. Do the same for the common
area.
|
#4 Cause and Effect:
Choose a major effect such as “Croghan
defeats the British.” Write it in the
large circle on a piece of butcher paper.
Reread the story of the battle. Drawing lines
out from the circle like spokes of a wheel,
record contributing causes of the British
defeat. Carefully print these on each “spoke.” Repeat
the process until the circle has many spokes.
|
# 5 Artifacts:
If possible go to the Birchard Public Library
Museum Room and look over the artifacts from
the fort in the shelf cases. If you are unable
to go to the museum, go to the artifact link
in the Sandusky County Scrapbook on the Fort
Stephenson site. Study the pictures. Take
time to identify and study the artifacts.
Then complete the worksheet attached to this
activity labeled, “Artifacts.”
