Declaration Collaborative Projects

Giving everyone an update on the Social Studies classes at the high school.  We are in the middle of learning about the Declaration of Independence.  In this picture, our students got out of the classroom and were learning about their sections of the document through a summarization activity.  Each group had a "chairman" that rotated through the different collaborative subgroups...teaching what they had summarized in their portion of the document!  This was a great way to enable the students to teach what their knowledge was!
