"Who is who? Projects" are meant as a different approach to key events and processes in History by focusing on their leaders and setting a challenge to students. They must work in teams performing a detective’s task to find out who the people are through their portraits, the clues provided about their achievements and their famous quotes to complete. Then they have to go deeper into the matter, to explain the meaning and purpose of the quotes as well as writing a short biography of each character. By doing this the students should find the “intruder”, that is to say the person who is not related to the others and justify their choice.
The final product is a collective paper, with the sources of information referenced in a proper way. It is an example of collaborative work and gamification to learn History contents while building writing skills.
