Grade 8: HistoryQuest: Civil War

Description:*Posted with permission*

HistoryQuest: Civil War (Grade 8)

A couple of our classes were unable to participate in the April 22nd offering and after talking it over with Janine our consortium decided to facilitate a second offering of the program. Please see the event description below. If you and your 8th grade class are interested in participating please contact me by email Hieronymus@esclc.org.

This FREE project is designed for 8th grade students studying US History, specifically the Civil War. Through video conference technology, students are able to meet other students while learning about United States history. Prior to the video conference each classroom will create a presentation with clues about a mystery person, event, invention, issue/problem or section from a document. The other classrooms, using maps, the Internet, textbooks, and other resources, will try to discover the history mystery presented by each participating classroom.
