About the event
How to guide students through the process of choosing a topic for an in-depth study exploring a historical event from the years of study in Social Studies class. Using at least four different sources and at least two different media, the student will create a demonstration/presentation to share how the event of their choosing might have been different if at least one aspect would have changed. The project will explore different possible outcomes and how the course of U.S. (and perhaps World) history would be different. The project will be shared with peers, parents, and other adults during the ‘What If Fair’ presentations.
