On Monday, students in Smith-Cotton High School’s dual credit U.S. History class wrapped up a research project exploring how history is communicated through photographs. Each student selected an influential photograph and researched its lasting impact.
To showcase their findings, students created museum-style displays and strengthened their academic writing skills by developing annotated bibliographies and abstracts summarizing their research.
This hands-on experience enabled students to engage with key primary and secondary sources while developing essential college-level research and writing skills.
