This Day in History...
For our english class here at I.U.S.B we were assigned to make a book of our very own, it could be anything we wanted to as long as it had to do with spring. For my book I decided to give it a Social Studies theme. I chose to make my book all about the events in history that have taken place on the first day of spring. I started plannig for my book by deciding how many years that I wanted to cover. When i considered how many pages our books were i decided to make it a span of 20 years. I knew that the first day of spring was March 21st so I just used a few websites ( I will list them below) to see what events took place on that exact day from 1991-2011. 
How can you use this in the classroom?? I think that this would be a great activity to use in the classroom to get students interested in things that happend in history. I also think that it would be a great idea for students to use their birthdays to see what happend in history. This gives them a personal connection to the research and makes it interesting to learn what happend on the day that they were born over the years. I enjoyed doing this anyways but I think it would have been even more fun to do my birthday! This also gives students a great opertunity to use computers and research their day!! These were a few of the sites that I found that were really useful:
