History- You Decide
How do we decide what makes "HIStory"? What gets taught? What gets forgotten? Create a one page lesson about an event that has happened during your lifetime that might be taught in the future. decide what you think is an important event in Texas, United States, or World events. Examples could include:
- 9/11 World Trade Center Attacks
- War in Afghanistan
- Arab Spring (recent revolutions in Middle East)
- Japan Tsunami
Create a background story, include a printed or drawn picture, and provide three 'assessment questions' at the end. You must tell about the cause of the event, location, and effects (100 word minimum).
