Photos:
We will also research the web to find interesting photos that visually show our stories. These photos can be used as a reference to get a better understanding of what you are reading, in our PowerPoint presentations and also in our art project/storyboard:

Music:
We will also incorporate some music into our presentations that will accompany our slides. Listening to the music and the lyrics of the songs, will also give you some more information on what was important to the people and what they were experiencing at this time.

Storyboards/Timelines:
We will create our presentation in order and our art project that we create will be a large storyboard for our unit that can trace the history visually. We can also read a little about how it's important to create a storyboard/timeline for our information.
