This lesson will help students understand the nature and importance of historical artifacts, help them understand what makes something historical as well as how we can communicate the historic significance of an item.
Students will practice their interpersonal communication skills, specifically speaking and writing by interviewing a classmate and writting an aricle based on the interview.
This is a longer project that will allow students to select a topic to research. Students will need to search a specific newspaper (either of their choice or yours) for mentions of the issue and create a timeline of what happened.
