Now & Then
This past month we have discussed in Social Studies how the past has influenced the present. We compared and contrasted how people lived, learned, worked, and played.
COLLABORATION - Interviews
To further enhance your learning, you will apply what you have learned and conduct an interview with a senior of your choosing (from the generation of your grandparents or great grandparents). You will ask your interviewee a set of questions that have been provided for you. Each student will also answer the same questions from his or her point of view. INTERVIEWS MUST BE DONE BY Tuesday, September 30th. Make a copy of the interview for yourself to assist you with the project at home.
CREATIVITY & CRITICAL THINKING - Project
You will gather the information from your interview, as well as your personal answers from the questions. You will compare and contrast the answers from the different generations. The information must be displayed in some form for a special viewing. Some ideas could be: posterboard, trifold board, power point, Now and Then scrapbook, etc. Attached is the rubric that will be used to grade your display. The projects are due Tuesday, October 7th !
COMMUNICATION - Written Portion of the Project
This will take place when you present your Creativity and Critical Thinking Project to families, peers and teachers. All 3rd Grade students will display their projects for the parents and seniors to view on the afternoon of Thursday, October 9th. A special invitation will be sent out to the senior inviting them to this special showing.
I am looking forward to hearing about your experiences and what you learned from the perspective of another generation.
ENJOY and HAVE FUN! 3rd Grade Team
