At the beginning of the school year, encourage your students to develop a blog about an interesting event in history. Each student should pick a different event. Provide classroom time for the students to update the blog on a weekly basis. At the end of the year, allow the class to perform a peer review of each blog. Remember to send the blog links home to parents so that they can watch their child's knowledge grow. Speak to other teachers and make the blog a cross-curricular activity.
