Create your own "Choose Your Own Adventure" story -------------- I can see this as a fab way to incorporate research, creativity, and critical thinking (21st century learning) with historical events. For example, what if George Washington hadn't decided to have his troops inoculated against the smallpox epidemic during the Revolutionary War? -- How would that have affected the casualty rate? -- and from there the adventure could show a possible different outcome.

You can also tie advertising to history by asking students to look at World War II posters

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 12 May 11 - No Cached

“Simple does not mean short. Writing in Simple English means that simple words are used. It does not mean readers want basic information. Articles do not have to be short to be simple; expand articles, add details, but use basic vocabulary

You can get to the Simple English Wikipedia by either “translating” the article from the standard Wikipedia with the link in the language list, as depicted in the image; or you can go to the Simple English homepage to search for a particular topic.

To help your students who have a higher comprehension of a topic, submitting an article to the Simple English Wikipedia is an excellent extension activity. Entire classes could even participate, all researching an animal, a historical event, or just editing/lengthening existing articles.

This would be a fabulous idea for a twist on the 'ole research project to incorporate an authentic purpose/audience.
