John Winthrop, Oliver Cromwell, and the Land of Promise

This study guide is designed to enhance students’ mastery of key content and skills in social studies, language arts, and other disciplines through examination of the Puritans and their legacy. It is intended to be used in conjunction with John Winthrop, Oliver Cromwell, and the Land of Promise by Sibert Award-winning author Marc Aronson, along with other materials. The lessons will compliment curriculum in the social studies, particularly early colonial Anglo-American history (including key figures in the history of religious toleration, Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams) and the rise of representative institutions. Each lesson is designed with multiple objectives in mind, to make the most efficient use of teachers’ time. The guide consists of four lesson plans drawn from topics investigated in John Winthrop, Oliver Cromwell, and the Land of Promise:

• America, Land of Promise
• Anne Hutchinson’s Trial: Conscience in Conflict
• Roger Williams and John Winthrop
• Democracy’s Debate: From Rex is Lex to the Levellers
