This project was created as an assignment in Planning Interactive Curriculum Connections, an online class offered by Berrien RESA and taught by Janine Lim.
Description: This distance learning project is designed for middle school students learning and reviewing key events in US history prior to 1865. Through a 40-45 minute video conference students are able to meet other students in their age group, while learning and reviewing key events in US History. Each classroom will present a maximum of four - five minute presentations which include clues, and a visual about a key event in US History Prior to 1865. The other classroom will try to discover what key event was presented by each of the participating classrooms.
After researching the key event they will then e-mail their guesses to each other’s classrooms. The presenting group will e-mail back an additional clue and the correct answer.
