Conclusion and Unit Product

This curriculum unit will contain a culminating visual display project for each semester for students will display what they have learned in terms of these historical figures in relation to the four hundred years of strength and struggle. Students will choose one of the figures they have learned about to make a visual project. The goal is that students will be use primary sources, inquiry-based learning, discussion and debate, to not only uncover their history in terms of events, but the people who went before them. The hope is that in the lives of these predecessors they will see reflections of themselves, and come to write their own history, in a way that restores dignity, identity, justice and hope.
