Behind this Journey Box

profile 1.jpg

This digital journey box was created as a midterm assignment for a class Samantha was taking as a fourth-year education major at Millersville University in Pennsylvania. The idea behind the journey box is to get students to engage with history and social studies on a deeper and more personal level. The journey box provides opportunities for students to engage with primary source media and do a multitude of hands-on, higher-level thinking activities. 

​

This individual journey box was created in the form of a website to be accessible to students during the COVID-19 pandemic regardless of whether they are attending school face-to-face or remotely.

As a multiracial person with afro-latinx heritage, civil rights and social justice are educational topics that Samantha sees must be addressed better in schools. She was excited and passionate about creating this journey box and hopes it can be used as a resource if desired by other educators.
