Your chance to be the “expert” and show off your new knowledge!  Choose an interesting bit of information about your topic and decide how you might teach it to your classmates. You might even throw in a “pop quiz” to see if they were paying attention!

Nominate and justify your pick for "Best Thing About The Topic"! Once everyone has shared their person, place, event, or invention, the class gets to vote on the winner!

Choose a type of person - author, artist, alien, time traveler, detective (or make up your own) - and go on to ask and answer questions from that perspective as you study the current topic.

Create a class timeline of the most interesting events you've learned about your time period. A timeline is a great end-of-project activity. You can see the order in which things happened AND how they connect!

Race against the clock to find the perfect image for your topic, write a caption for it, and win the votes of your classmates!

Select two events, people, topics, etc., to compare. Find ways that the two things are similar and ways that they are different. Then, as a class, decide whether the two things are more ALIKE or more DIFFERENT!

Choose an image to observe together and find evidence in the image to answer a set of questions. Compare your answers and see what you've learned!

Does what someone says tell us who they are? In this activity, you will find the quotes from one person. You'll then use clues from them to learn more about this person.

What if George Washington had a social media account? What would he have posted? In this activity, you'll imagine what a historical figure might have shared if they'd had Instagram.

Bring history to life in this activity by writing a script about a historical event and acting it out in front of the class. 

Who's the Greatest Of All Time? As a class, debate (if you disagree) or discuss (if you agree) about who to induct into the G.O.A.T. Museum!

Plan a virtual road trip with lots of fun and informative stops along the way! Wait - you're not done yet... Now you get to take the road trip together, via Google Maps!

Geography-specific! Using focus areas like land, climate, history, government, economy, and culture, explore a country as a class and decide whether you want to learn even more about that country!
