History Dinner Party

This least week I helped out a history teacher friend of mine named April who was having her end of the year history class celebration. She was inspired to do a History Dinner Party lesson from a teacher Facebook Group. Here is part of this lesson

Along with researching and interacting with each other, the students were asked to dress up in character to add to the experience. I offered to add a little to this lesson by setting up a green screen and having the students get their photos taken. So, they were asked to do a little more research and to provide a image to use as their background. We set up a Google Drive folder and the students were responsible to add their image to the folder. 

We used only one iPad with the Green Screen by app from DoInk. One of the senior aides in the class was taught the app and the students took turns lining up for the photo. They would let the photographer know which image was their background and then strike a pose. 
After their "photo session" they mingled with the other dinner guests.

These are some of the finished images. 

And here is a gallery with more of these images.
