I just wanted to post a few examples of what we have been doing in class.
First, students worked in groups to direct learning on the Oregon Trail. Each group was to make some sort of presentation (Power Point, Prezi, Poster, etc) to teach the rest of the class about each individual state along the trip.
The game board you see is from our post-lesson assessment. Instead of taking a test, groups were asked to make board games to review materials we covered in regards to Westward Expansion in the United States. It was great to see students question each other on what the correct answers were or even that the answers were broader than what someone might have on their answer sheets!
