Gettysburg Address App Smashing Mashup!

11/21/2014

 

"Four Score and Seven Years Ago..."  --Abraham Lincoln

Students in Mrs. Hesseltine's U.S. History Lab have been taking part in a "Show What You Know" project whereby students have the choice to show what they know about the Gettysburg Address via a choice of iPad apps. Students chose between creating a video mashup of the Gettysburgh Address (similar to the mashups by Ken Burns and others at http://www.learntheaddress.org/), or creating a comic strip, or Adobe Voice video telling the story of the Gettysburg Address.  Students have been throughout the school video-taping teachers, administrators, and fellow students in an effort to pull together some awesome mashups of the Gettysburg Address. Thank you to all who took the time (and had the patience) to participate. Samples of student projects are below...I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! --Mrs. Hesseltine
