History
History develops moral understanding, defines identity and creates an appreciation of
how things change while building skills in judgment and decision-making. History
enhances the ability to read varied sources and develop the skills to analyze,
interpret and communicate.

Students will have a better understanding of Colorado History as it pertains to

US history as a whole.
Students will be able to list many things that help make up important parts of
Colorado history.
Students will be able to connect to events that happened in Colorados past.

3. Determine how you want students to proceed through the QR code

hunt and what they are to do with the information or what they are to
do at each clue. Describe your method here: I will explain to the
students how to do a QR code hunt. I will then have them use school
issued devices or partner with a friend who has an electronic device.
Each individual/team will complete the QR hunt and write down their
answers from each stop. Answers will be turned into the teacher at the
end of the hunt and the first to finish will receive a prize.
