Action Map

My action map is centered around the student creation of a digital story about the Persian Wars.  The story will be the culminating event of a unit on the Persian War.  The goal of the unit is to develop an understanding of the impact of war on its people.  Though the class will be learning about ancient history there are many parallels between the modern world and ancient world of the Greeks.  The steps involved sure up each activity and are implemented in a manner that will develop a sound foundation of the content while continuing to address the curricular standards.

  1. Dan, I think your action map outlines a very interesting unit. Quite different from things I remember doing in world history (mostly note taking). I also like how you have pointed out that you will use the parallels to modern war in your class.

    1. I agree with Scott about the parallels you are going to draw between the modern and ancient worlds. I think this is an excellent idea! It will make the history lessons more relevant for your students. Your action map looks great and is easy to understand. Nice job!
