In one high-energy hour, your students will come face to face with Columbus, Pilgrims, Salem “witches,” George Washington, Boston Tea Partiers, framers of the Constitution, Missouri Compromisers, Levi Strauss and his Jeans, and the Gettysburg Address - and that’s just in the first 35 minutes! Add in Thomas Edison, WW I and II, the Great Depression, FDR, the Civil Rights movement, Watergate, and the invention of the internet, and you have a fun - but still useful - overview of the greatest social experiment in world history. Performed by Cinema Academy/GreatWorks Curriculum Connections: US History, Social Studies
