Patriotic Truths

In this worksheet, students evaluate twelve statements about key Founding Fathers and determine whether each one is True or False. The statements reference George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. Students must analyze prior knowledge, recall historical facts, and use reasoning to judge the accuracy of each statement. This activity builds U.S. history comprehension while strengthening critical reading and fact-checking skills. It also encourages students to distinguish between accurate information and common myths about early American leaders.
