"What was the impact of slavery on Africans?"
In this project, 5th graders performed a jigsaw on the topic of slavery. Each group of 3-4 students learned about one aspect of slavery, reading and recording main ideas, facts, and details about their topic. With this information, each group collaborated on a Google Slideshow using their ChromeBooks. Following this creation, groups recorded a Screencast of their lesson in which they taught other 5th graders about what they learned.
Students wrapped up this jigsaw by watching each others' Screencasts and learning examples which help them answer the focus question of this unit: "What was the impact of slavery on Africans?" They used these examples to write an essay answer to the focus question in Google Classroom. |
