Have your students explore American History as they research and portray famous Americans as part of this engaging, interactive videoconference! Each participating class will give three "60 second" presentations about three different famous Americans. Snapshots should include pertinent facts about the famous American - - and the student representing the famous American should be dressed like the person they are portraying. After the presentations, there will be a 5 minute "reflection period" where teachers can facilitate classroom discussion and students can deduce which famous Americans were being portrayed. Each school will get a turn to present. After schools select which three Americans they will research, presentations will be grouped by category. For example, three different schools might present as part of the "Famous American Women" category and those same schools might also have a presentation as part of the "American Explorers" category. Categories will be determined at least one week prior to the videoconference event.
