Historical+Guessing+Game

Margo Jones L595—Fiesta 2

My presentation is a PowerPoint historical guessing game for ages 9-12. To view the presentation, click the hyperlink and either open or save the file. The PowerPoint file is on IUPUI’s Oncourse server. It has photos of historical items. I incorporated pictures taken from Conner Prairie Museum, located in Fishers, Indiana, with various web images. Web images and hyperlinks applicable to the slide are also included. Children guess and see if they know what the item is and how it is used. Teachers can use the photos and hyperlinks to prompt discussion regarding the items or other historical information. In addition, the PowerPoint presentation has notes, which includes more teaching ideas. The photos and web links are teaching aids, which may inspire the children to want to learn more. The presentation is located at: [|Historical Guessing Game]

I had fun completing this project as I learned how to edit wiki spaces. In addition, I learned that GIMP is an easy software program to use when resizing pictures. Further, I learned that simple items could be used to create an innovative learning assignment. Moreover, I discovered that the Internet is an excellent tool to research history and find historical images.
