sent home with a permission slip for their parents to sign either agreeing to let them create a free Visme
account, or denying. If a student’s permission is denied, they will just be asked to create their timeline on a
piece of poster paper I will supply them with. Nothing about their assignment instructions/ time limit/ rubric
etc. will change.
Reflective Practice: I think this assignment is a great way to have students work together and review the
causes of the American Revolution, as stated in the standard. This activity would be introduced towards the
beginning of our American Revolution unit. As students continue with our lessons on the American
Revolution, they could continue to use Visme to create helpful infographics, timelines of major battles,
presentations etc. as classwork reviews. Before beginning the Visme timeline of major causes of the American
Revolution, I could have students review the causes and what we have studied so far using a Kahoot I created.
