“The Connecting to the Sixties Puzzle Activity is a tremendous way to engage the students in analyzing one of the most volatile decades in American History. Each pair of students (or 3, or just one) are able to focus on a particular aspect of the Sixties and expand upon what they have found. It gives every student in the group a chance to speak. There are no wallflowers in this activity!
– Frank Dunn, Boonton High School Teacher
