"Mission US is a multimedia project that immerses players in U.S. history content through free interactive games. In Mission 3: “A Cheyenne Odyssey,” players become Little Fox, a Northern Cheyenne boy whose life is changed by the encroachment of white settlers, railroads, and U.S. military expeditions. As buffalo diminish and the U.S. expands westward, players experience the Cheyenne's persistence through conflict and national transformation."

Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne provides 13 resources for social studies in this post. Some have been mentioned previously in this Scoop.it and others are new. Each one includes a brief description and all are free. They include: * Museum Box - a virtual display of artifacts * Mission U.S. - 2 missions that explore different times in U.S. History * Hip Hughes History - a YouTube channel on both U.S. and World History (the image above is from this site) * The Google Cultural Institute (42 exhibitions online) * History Animated - "animated online tours of notable battles and strategies and the outcomes of each battle in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the American Civil War, and WWII" and more! Check out the post for additional resources.

This site offers terrific digital resources specific to the social studies classroom. It offers resources on a variety of social studies topics from world history to American history, and politics. One of the sites that I have used in my classroom is History Animated that allows users to see virtual battlefields and live the action that soldiers would have felt. |
"A Cheyenne Odyssey" is the third mission from Mission U.S. This interactive game will teach students about the Cheyenne's experience. There is a teacher guide available for this game (as well as the first two: Mission 1 - For Crown or Colony? and Mission 2 - Flight to Freedom). Each guide provides an overview, background information, standards alignments, activites, primary sources and there are videos to help provide guidance for teachers.Two additional games are set to be released in 2014 and 2015. The games are geared to students in Grades 5 - 8.
