Light, Camera, ACTION!

One possibility for our next unit of study (China) may be making a video about a certain topic. Here is an example of a video a student created about the Indus Valley. After viewing the video, please leave a comment detailing strengths and weaknesses of this student's work. What criteria would we need to set for a good world history video?

Welcome to Our Blog!

Our current unit of study in World History is the Indus River Valley civilization. We are learning about the history of the people, their religions, and way of life. Blogs are a wonderful tool for sharing information and collaborating with people via technology around the world. After viewing the embedded video, please leave a comment with your suggestions for how we can use this blog in Grades 7 and 8 Social Studies.
