United States History Movement Creations

At the beginning of the week, our United States History students began a week long learning opportunity.

• Learn about three specific movements in our United States History
• Create a digital document that would explain it using Smore, Thinglink, or MentorMob
• Evaluate peer creations
• Develop a Credo to explain a movement or belief that students were motivated to support

Some fantastic creations were turned in using a Google Form

Mentor Mob Example

I am thankful that Miss Wilcox and Mrs. McCumber chose to empower students to be creative, engaged students in the assessment process, and educated them on United States History movements.

*Mr. Krause would have completed the learning experience using the same methods, but with limited computer accessibility was unable to complete the project as stated above.  He did complete the learning experience, but using another approach.

VINEs To Promote United States History Memorial Projects

After learning about VINE, Miss Wilcox decided to use it for promotion of today's memorial visits by her classes!

Fantastic!  Consider using VINE the next time you want to promote your classroom creations!

Assessment
Before students view other students' work, they will create a list of 4-5 items in which they will be assessed on. We are focusing on class discussions for four items.  The fifth item will be purely based on what the authors of the product would like to be assessed upon.

Submitting the Final Product
Students will supply their final product through a Google Form.

Final Personal Product
After viewing numerous creations on the three movements, students will create a CREDO

about one of the movements that they learned about or a movement they are passionate about.  This will provide a personal connection through which students will acknowledge their understanding of movements and there results.  The CREDO will be submitted using a Google Form!
