Have students use a mapping tool such as Zeemaps, reviewed here, to create a map of one of these events (with audio stories and pictures included)! Have students use Fakebook.reviewed here, to create a "fake" page similar in style to Facebook about one of the people in these lesser known historic events.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
