Project Overview
What is human nature? Are we prone to see the positive side of things or the negative. History is a story of struggle. Throughout this study of content starting with the ratification of the Constitution through Reconstruction, students will be studying the conflicts that arose and look at the solutions that were presented. For the culminating project, students will decide how they want to foster the better side of human nature.
This project has been remixed from Healing Our Humanity created by Karly Robinson, Jaimee Rojas O’Kelley of High Tech High International
