In Mr. Welch’s U.S. History class, students are diving deep into the American Revolution (1775–1783) through a Slide Deck Mini-Project. Working in pairs, students selected key topics such as the Declaration of Independence, Valley Forge, or The Battle of Saratoga, and even explored the contributions of lesser-known “Forgotten Founders.”
Each team posed a historical question, conducted research using class resources, and created slides to teach their classmates about their chosen topic. The project challenges students to think critically, collaborate, and make connections to how the Revolution shaped the nation we know today.
