Message in the Morse Code

Imagine it’s the 19th century and you’ve learned Morse Code, write a message you’d send to a friend living in another state.

This exercise not only allows students to engage creatively with a historical period, but also learn about the evolution of communication. They can explore themes of friendship, separation, the excitement of new technology, and the ways people stayed in touch before modern conveniences. It could also spark discussion about how Morse Code works and its impact on communication.
