Assassin’s Creed III

Assassin’s Creed III, and our quest as educators to reach 100% synchronization uncovered many truths and mysteries surrounding the American Revolution. There are far more missions and characters than we can describe here which incorporate connections between fiction and non-fiction. It is the challenge for the player, and also the learning opportunity, for to focus on the analysis of these characters and events much like they would any other historical source to determine the bias and agenda behind the design of what is being studied. Players might focus on different controversial elements, and having to differentiate between historically accurate and fictional events in this way is higher order thinking that requires research and an analysis of primary and secondary documents with a focus on uncovering these biases and agendas.
