"Meeting of the Three People" Expo
contributed by Jim Barrie, Social Studies Teacher
Students made a variety of projects during the First Quarter. The projects
included posters, PowerPoint presentations, essays, writing pieces, crafts,
and displays. Students had a "ticket" or checklist of activities
to complete. They identified topics to gather information about. Subjects
for the projects included aspects of Indian, European, and African culture
in between 1400-1600. They recorded progress toward completing 3-5 activities
on their tickets. The teacher used a rubric to evaluate each activity.
At the end of the quarter, all student work was presented in our First
Quarter Exhibition. Visitors marveled at the wealth of information presented
and the fine artistic talent of the students. Dream catchers and tepees
set the mood for the exhibit. Posters hung form the ceiling inviting all
to learn about the three peoples. All students were presented with certificates
of participation. Some students received additional recognition for outstanding
work in poster, display, craft, PowerPoint, and essay activities. Our
exhibition theme for the Second Quarter is: Travel to the Colonies. Students
will establish a travel agency to inform all about colonial life. Hope
you can visit Kendall School in January to see this exhibit.
