The Colonies Project

 The Game Project

 

         For this project, you will need to create a Virginia History board game.  The board game can be similar to Monopoly or Shoots and ladders or a new made up game.  You will need to include 20 History facts that you have learned in History this year.  The facts can include anything from the Native Americans to the American Civil War.  You may get the facts from your Social Studies Book, notes, your memory or off my web page at http://www.quia.com/pages/hostetterlinks.html  An example of a game project can be found at http://edweb.sdsu.edu/courses/edtec670/Cardboard/board/s/seaturtle/seaturtle.html
