During the 4th quarter, 9th grade students of African American history created 30-second commercials. Several components of the project included the following:
- Inquiry: Students defined their own questions and topics about African American history (1865-present)
- Research: Students researched "freedom and liberty" (as described in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights) and related each to their inquiry
- Collaboration: Students worked together to write a non-fictional profile of a historical event and how it relates to freedom and responsibility --- with 3 MLA citations.
- Presentation: Students used a variety of media (iMovie, garage band, blip.tv, Wikispaces) to organize and
share their non-fiction profile essays and 30-second commercials.
Here are a few student samples:

George Fickous Stories of the
California Gold Rush
During the 1850’s I had a great, great, great, great, uncle named George Fickous. There are probably about two more greats in that, I’m not exactly sure. On Fickous’ travels he sent letters to him wife, father, mother, and children. In my audio I take out pieces of the letter and put them as a deeper voice around the age of George.
