Yesterday we had a great discussion about Point of View and how people can perceive the same thing differently. I did read from the Scholastic book George vs George the part of the "shot heard around the world" and how both sides had very different accounts of what actually happened. The students were able to understand since we spent so much time on the concept of point of view using different scenarios that they could relate to.
Today, we went to the computer lab and did a scavenger hunt based on the information listed on History Place.com. I created a list of 20 questions and the students had to find the information on the above listed website. Many of the questions I used were already on a scavenger hunt website for the AR and I just added a few of my own. Some of the students completed in school and others have to finish for homework.
Things are moving along nicely and on Monday a friend who does reenactments has generously offered to come in and talk to the students. He will be meeting with myself, Bob and Kerri. It should be interesting.
