This is a Project-Based learning activity for upper elementary students. In this project, students explore Idaho and their family's history by answering the Driving Question, “What makes people take a risk and immigrate to a different place?"
4th grade is the year when students learn about Idaho history. This project, provides an opportunity for students to apply Idaho history to their own lives. Students will learn about historical Idaho figures & populations as well as people in their family, in the past who took risks to shape their futures and who helped provide the students with the opportunities from which they currently benefit.
