| Sophia W.'s Prezi Creation |
Each year, World History begins by letting students investigate their identities through the lens of Geography and Culture. Through discussions with family members and some personal reflection, they begin to develop a sense of not only where they came from but also who they are, what they value, and where they see themselves going.
They were able to choose what method they wanted to use in order to share this information with the class. Some students chose Prezis, others Power Point, while many stuck to the tried and true poster!

I've always found this project to be important in setting up a great year in World History due to its ability to highlight the diversity of beliefs and life-ways found in our classroom. As we begin exploring various events both throughout History and in the World today, it is important for the students to be aware that a great variety of beliefs and opinions exist in our room and that each needs to be respected and acknowledged in this academic setting.
