5) VIRTUAL REALITY INTERVIEW: Finally, you and your partner will construct an interview with a person from the Middle Ages. You obvoiusly will write the complete interview. However, using pictures off the internet and Hyperstudio, we will create a real interview. (For example - if you studied the Vikings, you would interview Lief Erikson)


VIRTUAL REALITY SCORING GUIDE: You and the Students at Brentwood Middle School will collaborate and jointly create a Scoring Guide to be used by students and teachers to evaluate the quality of content and quality of communication of the finished Virtual Reality Projects. You can share your ideas by using the Web Wizard. This is part of Mr. Ambrose's UMSL Social Studies Methods Course.
