Students will depict the life of a teen in Mesa, AZ. Students will use Juventud to gain insight into the lives of youths. They will write a diary entry as a Mesa youth.
Students will be introduced to the concept of historical perspectives and their impact on understanding past events. This will help students develop their critical thinking as well as their analysis skills working with primary sources.
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.
