I'm going to make a movie project for my students!

Why would I do that?
The purpose is to connect to historical events and people from their previous knowledge of them. It is also a way for me to assess what my students already know so I know what to teach them about Lewis and Clark.

How am I going to go about doing this?
My students will create a 3 min video about what they know about Lewis and Clark from their own lives such as a movie about them, a book, or from a previous class. This video will represent the kind of work your students would create for an assignment.

They have to include the following:
What they know about Lewis and Clark
What their family knows about Lewis and Clark
Where their previous knowledge of Lewis and Clark comes from
And What they would like to learn about Lewis and Clark.
