In my day we had class involvement in many ways--which helped make it more interesting.
In my Texas History class--I build a small diorame of The Alamo--and I used about 200 1/72nd scale soldiers on it. I got an A+
In another history class--I did a drawing of Tha Alamo as viewed as if you were looking down from the sky. It has breaches in the wall, damaged buildings etc. I represented the attackeers and defenders with colored boxes--as to try to draw figures would be impossible--they would be the size of a "."
In my 8th grade class--I built a "Boston Massacre" scene in 1/32nd scale. It wasn't near as well done as my 7th grade project but I still got a "A" for it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
We never watch movies but we did do class plays and brought things for show and tell.
I guess they teach much differently now than they did just 22, 23, 24, or so years ago.
