Back to School - Research & Present Answer to Question "Why Study History?" Grading Rubric Included

Engage students with this EDITABLE, ZERO PREP product. A GRADING RUBRIC & TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS clarify the project. REFLECTION QUESTIONS INCREASE RIGOR & can be used for ABSENT STUDENTS/RETAKES. CLASS DISCUSSION question helps students make connections. Great way to start the year!! This project helps students understand why history is applicable to their lives and their futures.

Absent Students? Retakes? Ugh.... I have provided TWO REFLECTION QUESTIONS. The second can be used for absent students and for retakes. It requires students to conduct research to write a five paragraph essay.

17 OPTIONS for students = STUDENT VOICE & CHOICE! Alternatively, this gives you the flexibility to 1) pick and choose the options you feel are the best for your students, or 2) assign different sets to different classes.

HELPFUL HINTS -- For each option, I have provided five areas that students can research to help them answer the question and prepare for their presentation.

GRADING RUBRIC included. The grading rubric, as well as the content on all slides, is EDITABLE so you can alter if you need to.

Designed for easy print! A grading rubric prints on the back of each of the 17 option slides.
