Decades Project

My Group: The 80's

Okay, this by far is my favorite project of the semester.  In my social studies class at the University, we had to pick a group and study a decade in history.  The group I was a part of chose the 1980's. Together we researched the popular movies, music, TV shows, and fashion of that time period.   We also found historical events that were significant throughout those years.  Each group got to dress up and present their findings to our classmates and passerby's in the school lobby.  It was a blast! This would be an awesome idea to get upper elementary students engaged in learning history while having fun!
