is an active based model of learning for high school history courses.
It is intended to get students actively involved in their lessons, whether
they be daily activities or long-term assignments. Through various
technological resources, the students will be "moving" through history
and time to become an active participant in their studies.
A
few examples of projects that we have done already are:
-
Compiling
true stories and pictures of immigrants using information from the Library
of Congress website to write letters as an immigrant
-
Taking
a virtual tour of Ellis Island
-
Using
the PBS website for their Great War series to research for a class
bulletin board topic
-
Finding
World War One poetry on the web and analyzing them as a way of explaining
the term "lost generation"
-
Typing
up your letter of intent to President Wilson regarding the Treaty of Versailles:
will you support him or not?
-
Doing
a multi-media group presentation on popular culture of the 1920's: using
slides, creating an overhead sheet, and a medium of your choice
And
the work goes on......
