The projects are in...and the results were very creative. The 8th grade Social Studies students did a VERY creative job in putting their projects together/presenting them to their classmates! I have posted just a few of the activities on the blog, but had many more that were awesome.
There were a number of different student-created activities. The groups created projects that included revolutionary era news casts, rap songs, books, newspapers, powerpoints, propoganda/movie posters, and even foods that were commonly cooked during the time of the war. I was very pleased to see the work of our students! This project was designed to give the students mental snapshots of the time period.
Where are we headed next? We went back to text today to reinforce their learnings. The students explored the midnight ride made by Paul Revere today through interactive team work. I found that the group that presented "The Midnight Ride" to the class during the project took pride in contributing information during the lesson today.
This has definitely been an experience that will remain in their minds for quite some time!
