Actually, they journaled over the technological innovations we have today, as opposed to what the character had in 1856. The destroying the world part came in the form of the app "Infected" (similar to the android app "Plague Inc."). Students had to create a disease that mimicked typhoid as closely as possible. Talk about engaged learners!
