fall of the Berlin wall

INFORMATION COLLAGE

Working in Google Slides, students can create a college of their knowledge. In the example on the left, the student wrote about the fall of the Berlin wall, located Berlin on a map, inserted photographs from the wall, and inserted a video that covers the rise and fall of the wall. By bringing multiple media forms together, the student will gain an in-depth understanding of the event, its location, and why it was culturally relevant.

Storyboardthat.com allows students to create free comic strips to show the different events. It also features scenes, characters, and other graphics that are time period specific.
