Mr. Schwedler’s students presented their Civil War PBL projects today, connecting the causes and impacts of the Civil War to modern-day conflicts.

Their thoughtful research and meaningful comparisons showed strong critical thinking and a powerful understanding of how history connects to today’s world. Great work! 👏📚
