1968

Who better than AARP to present a multimedia overview of 1968 "The Year That Rocked Our World"? Even if some of us don't want to admit it, 1968 is history now, and current students have a fascination for this time period. This site contains a very comprehensive interactive timeline, with an event for nearly every day of that tumultuous year. The "Pop Quiz" is based on the timeline and could be a good follow-up exercise to a small group review of the timeline.
