Description
Bring student research into your classroom with this simple digital or print project! Students research a Civil War topic and then create either a digital slide or poster to present to their peers. Your students will become the teacher as they explain the significance of a battle, event or leader to the class!
Students will demonstrate multiple historical skills, including:
- gathering information to answer a question–how did individuals and events change the course of the Civil War?--and
- demonstrating understanding of a topic by teaching others.
While this project was designed for the high school U.S. History classroom, it can be easily modified for both AP or Dual Credit U.S. History (APUSH) as well as middle school U.S. History.
All materials to use with students--Student Directions, the presentation slides, the list of topics and the rubric--can be fully edited by you in Google Slides™!
Included in this download:
- TWO VERSIONS for you, the teacher, to use with your students--either print or digital.
- Student Directions (PDF)
- Note-taking suggestions with an emphasis on using credible and reliable sources (PDF)
- A list of 32 Topics (PDF). This comprehensive topic list gives you the option to make this a PARTNER project OR an INDIVIDUAL project.
