Ms. Stone's social studies classes elevated their learning experience by engaging in a game of Clue centered around the Watergate scandal. The 6th-grade students gathered in the library, where they collaborated in small groups to explore various aspects of this historical event. Each group rotated through different stations, gathering clues and information that deepened their understanding of the political intrigue surrounding Watergate.
As the students pieced together evidence, they developed critical thinking and teamwork skills while uncovering the mystery of "whodunit." This interactive approach not only made learning about a significant moment in American history enjoyable but also fostered a sense of curiosity and inquiry among the students. Ultimately, the mystery was solved, showcasing the students' ability to connect historical events to the skills they are developing in the classroom.
