It seems that when trying to create bulletin boards that are related to history it is very difficult to come up with ideas that will get students involved with the bulletin board. This article centers on an idea for a bulletin board on the American Revolution. The idea came about with the assignment of creating a bulletin board that contains pertinent information on the subject chosen, but that’s also interactive with students. The assignment was to be completed with a partner. Well, my partner and I chose to do a bulletin board on the American Revolution. We went to a shop called School Tools in our local area and picked out a kit for creating a bulletin board. The only problem was that the kit did not provide for much student interaction. The kit included precut placards about famous revolutionary people, events, documents, and maps. The only thing required of the student was that they read the various placards. This was a good start on the bulletin board.
