As part of an integrated curriculum, I love when students get to create, adapt, and adopt a character from the historical setting being studied. This project was part of our social studies curriculum with lots of in-class time given to explore resources, create their character, as well as produce the final product. Students would use the textbook as a way to build knowledge but then could branch out and use other resources as well, whether it be web-based or books.
Subjects involved: Social studies, Writing, Reading.
