Mr. Hollowell's class is a seventh grade World History class at Platte County Middle School, Platte City, Missouri. We decided to approach our research for 50 Years Ago Today as a small group
project. We divided into 2 person groups with each group receiving one
date. The research went pretty well and we used a variety of
resources. We had a couple of books on Harry Truman, a cd that we were
able to make use of on our extra computer and a computer with an
internet connection that we used to search for related materials.
It was one of the most enjoyable projects we have done so far this year. We were able to use a variety of skills and combine them into a focused product. We plan to use the internet for some of our other
projects this year since it was one of the most exciting aspects of our
research. We also plan to take a tour of the Truman Library to learn
more about President Truman this Spring!
