So I’ll be teaching world history for the first time this upcoming school year. This will be my 4th year teaching. And I will have all 9th graders. I want to have them interview people in their community about any historical event they have lived through. Then the student will do a full year project based on/leading up to this interview. I know the literacy rate for my students has gotten worse with each year. I don’t know what true level my incoming 9th graders will be. And I want to combat ai usage as much as possible. I need help brainstorming ideas that will help students finish this project.
Now world history will be a full year class. I have only taught semester courses so this will be new for me.
The goal of the project will be to help students find a love for history and an interest in the people around them. The historical event can be able anything but has to be real. I’m thinking a timeline of something like this

1. Students find someone to interview
2. Students get the historical event and do their own research on it (maybe write a 1-2 page essay in order to build background knowledge on it)
3. Students form questions based on their research to ask in their interview
4. Students video tape their interview with their primary source and listen to their account
5. Following the account students ask their interview questions
6. Students write down the interview or write an essay based on the interview

Now I know this doesn’t strictly stick to just a primary source, but hopefully it helps them understand the importance and build skills they need.
Any ideas or critique is greatly needed and appreciated. I want to make a timeline to help students do this project throughout the year. And of course we will have a few classes dedicated to learning how to cite.

Ok so I am American living in the USA, however, I lived in South Korea for a year (for work). Do I need to submit just the police report for the United States? Or do I need to also go to the Korean embassy and inquire about a police report as well?
Will the American police report cover Korea?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

The new one is: they are copy and pasting questions into browsers during computer testing. Sometimes it works something’s it locks them out

Here is a list of ways- comment any one you know!

-pretending they are texting while writing down answers or copy pasting ai answers

-hiding their phone and going to the bathroom to look up answers

-classic ai

-opening copilot in the task bar and looking up answers during computer based testing

-highlighting and right clicking google search questions during computer testing

-then the basic old school(cheat sheets, pictures hidden, hiding papers)
