Industrial Revolution Research Project
I developed a research project aligned with the 8th grade Social Studies TEKS, focusing on the significance and impact of inventions during the Industrial Revolution in the United States.
Student Examples Below
Students wrote about the causes of the French and Indian War, submitting their responses on Flip.com. I then compiled their submissions into a mashup video.
ELA Book Study Activities
As a class, students were reading the fiction book "Peak" by Roland Smith. I planned activities around the premise of the book - the youngest person to summit Mount Everest.
I arranged a skype with Jordan Romero, the actual youngest person to summit Everest. I promoted his book "No Summit Out of Sight" that we have in the GRJH library.
I planned an activity using nearpod where students used iPads to go on a virtual field trip to Mount Everest.
