Groups of 2 students completed this project using the app Animoto. Each group researched the causes of the Revolutionary War. As a class we chose 4 of the causes to concentrate on: The Stamp Act, The Boston Tea Party, The Boston Massacre, and The 1st Continental Congress. Each group then used a LiveBinder called The Revolutionary War for 5th Graders and chose at least 2 different links to research their topic. Once finished, they found pictures and used their information to complete the videos below. Not only did the students research, but they also worked on finding the main idea and details of each link, compared and contrasts how each link compared the same subject, summarized the causes of the war, worked on paraphrasing their information to fit into the captions, and learned about picture copyrights and how to find which pictures are safe to use on the internet.
