History Comes Alive

Ms. Blaine and Mrs. Newick's 7th graders learned about the events leading up to the American Revolution and then created Eyewitness Interviews as if they were live on the scene. They selected historical figures (often choosing people with differing perspectives), wrote scripts, learned how to use a green screen to create realistic backgrounds, and filmed their interviews. Then they shared the interviews with their classmates to teach each other about the steps to the American Revolution.
