Class Activities this year

Here's some of the Activities and games we'll do in class this year

"Mysteries in History"

What really happened? We're going to look at two curious events this year (The Lost Colony of Roanoke & the Boston Massacre). We'll play the part of detectives, look at evidence, and try to uncover the truth!


"History on Trial"

Christopher Columbus, Benedict Arnold, and Andrew Jackson were all integral parts of our country's history. But how should they be remembered, what should their legacy be? We'll use primary sources and readings to take a position and defend it!

"Simulation Games"

Who doesn't love a good game? Combine it with history, and you've got our classroom Simulation Games. We'll each be given a role of a historical person/position, and then experience what those events were like in the form of a competitive and fast paced role playing game!


Mr. Bottevil's Escape Rooms

Mr. Bottini's alter ego hijacks the class, and the only way out is to solve the history-related puzzles he leaves us. Work together to crack the codes. But beware, not all will make it out!
