 Project is a culmination of 2nd Semester work
 Each group will present a “Decade” of the 20th Century
o Rubric/Assessment of Student Performance
 Rubric will be provided for historical content
 Commentary will be provided on technology skills (I’m not certain
if any requirement can be made on use of technology)
o Technology
 Technology will be used to make lessons more engaging
 Delivering presentations through various technologies will make
the project more engaging, fun and will offer a lot of choices for
the students
 Students will understand new ways to communicate through
technology and be able to connect that they are writing their own
version of U.S. History with the “Decades Project”.
