Uncovering History: An interactive look into the JFK Assassination

Explore one of America's most intriguing historical events with this JFK Assassination interactive slideshow and writing assignment. Designed for history enthusiasts and curious minds alike, this comprehensive lesson includes an analysis of the facts, theories, and mysteries surrounding President John F. Kennedy's assassination.

This is always one of my students favorite lessons of the year! They absolutely love discussing the theories behind the assassination and always come up with theories of their own. This lesson can be done digitally, but I recommend using it as an in class lesson because of the discussions it yields. Students also have questions as we go through the lesson, so I like to be there to answer their questions.

Photos: A collection of historical photographs that capture crucial moments before, during, and after the assassination.

Warm-Up Activity: Begin the lesson with an engaging image analysis and writing prompt that set the state for the lesson.
