Week D38
Topic 50s and 60s
This is a good topic have the kids present creatively, a collage poster, computer slideshow, etc. Check out biographies or magazine articles on some of the main people of the era (Mao, Stalin, Truman, Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., etc.). You could even assign them to interview someone (grandparents?) who remembers this time period.
