Living History Museum

What a performance! Over the past month, each student researched an American hero in depth. Learning the basics of research, including: using note cards for each source, the introductory components of the APA style of research for their biographies and quotes, and how to evaluate sources, the students compiled a 2-3 page typed, first-person point of view research paper. Next, the paper was memorized. Today was the celebration. Students lined the blacktop and gave their presentations to families and the rest of the school for over an hour. Travis, who kept track of his speeches, said he said his speech twenty-four times! They all did an amazing job.
