I really try to hold space for NO WORK over breaks! A few students need a bit more time on their River Story and I think that over break they can wrap up the loose ends. So, I'm sending home the following:
1. River Story - Native Americans & Settlers - Final draft
2. OPTIONAL -3D River Festival Project You don't have to do it over break, but you'll have to do it eventually - due on Dec 12th...Here's the assignment in case you lost yours!
River Festival 3-D Project
Help bring our rivers to life at the River Festival with a
three-dimensional project.
This project should demonstrate some aspect of life on the
river you’ve researched or a field study. In addition to the 3-D project, a
brief write-up will need to go along with it.
Below are some suggestions:
- 3-D
map
- Model
of a building or a boat as it relates to history of a river
- Diorama
of an event with explanation of the significance
- Focus
on a specific topic regarding your river, such as phosphates, substrate
types, etc.
- Create
a board game that is educational for those playing it.
- Write
a song. This may be displayed, performed, or recorded.
- Create
a dance, a play, or infomercial. This would be performed the night of the
festival or recorded and played.
- Create
a food dish from the region of your river.
- Other
ideas? Check with your core teacher or Sarah the principal.
This project may be done alone, with your family or with
friend(s) from core class.
DUE DATES:
Detailed plan along with who is working on it by Wed Dec 4th.
Project with write-up the morning before the River
Festival-- Thursday, Dec. 12th.
