For upper elementary students, finding projects and assessments for them to do that interest them is difficult. Incorporating technology into the classroom as much as possible will definitely interest the students since they are growing up in a society that relies heavily on this technology. Teaching them how to use it and giving them chances to practice using it will allow for diversity in their assessments and projects, as well as prepare them for their future.
For one of our group projects we had to use historical images in the video, and also incorporate music. My group chose the song "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel and found each individual picture to correspond with the lyrics in the song.
A variation of this would be to allow students to create Facebook pages for historical people and add photos to document the significant events that took place while that person was alive.
