Important Moments in History – John F. Kennedy Assassination WebQuest & Video Project

$4.00

In this lesson, students learn interesting facts about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as they complete several projects including a WebQuest (Internet Scavenger Hunt) to answer questions about the topic.    A complete answer key is provided for the WebQuest for easy grading, along with resources for both teachers and students.  The student questions are included in both a print version and a digital (editable) version to make it easy for students to complete the lesson digitally or on paper.  Also included with this lesson is a word search puzzle that includes an answer key.  Additionally, a video project is included, allowing students to utilize Adobe Express (formerly Adobe Spark), a free, no download needed software option.

This lesson is intended to be an introduction to the topic and was designed for middle school (grades 6-8) but could be used in upper elementary or high school as well.  This is also a great cross-curricular lesson combining social studies/history with technology, which also works well to leave for a substitute teacher!
