Perspectives of the American Revolution

Eighth grade humanities students will be asked to create a video of their interpretation of an event or person from American History such as the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere, and the American Revolution (battles, key people, etc.) itself. Using our ePal internet and the contacts we have that are willing to build a collaborative environment between the U.S. and other nations, we will create a dialogue with a classroom from England. We will then share various lessons and videos (which our students will have constructed) with an English school or classroom via Skype and/or other means of communication. This project would be ongoing throughout a number of years. By collaborating with international classrooms, our students will become more internationally minded inquirers and well-rounded global citizens.
