Read each article. 2. Divide students into three groups. 3. Explain the problem to the students: a. George Washington was being tried for the murder of Jumonville. Washington was only 21 years old. George Washington signed a document confessing that he was responsible for Jumonville’s death. The document was written in French and had to be translated. Washington claimed that he didn’t know he was signing a confession. b. Give each student a copy of the graphic organizer Articles of Capitulation. This was the document George Washington signed. c. The question that needs to be answered is: How were Jumonville and some

of his men killed? (No one knows for sure. There were three different accounts of what happened, but they all had conflicting details.) Clash of Empires | Week 17
