The Museum
As the culminating project, you will be creating a museum exhibit that will demonstrate how the road for a specific component of American Society has evolved throughout the course of United States History.
The first step will be to create a timeline as a class detailing important events in United States History. To determine which events to use, we will be watching the Kahn Academy videos US History Overview 1 and US History Overview 2. After determining the important events to include, you will research a specific event. You will focus on the date(s) of the event, the description of the event, and the impact that the event had on United States history.
Next, you will create a historical documentary detailing your topic's road through history. You will also analyze inventions, innovations, and events that had an impact on your topic. Finally, you will determine what time period was the "Utopia" for your topic, and you will present your reasoning as to why.
