Who Am I? Book Exhibition

This project was done by third through sixth graders at St. Therese Catholic School under the direction of Julie Owen, librarian, with assistance from Lynn Tarleton, music teacher. Through research about pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians, the students practiced note taking skills, and comparison/contrast analysis. Then, they used this research to create fictional characters for "Who Am I?" books. A large part of the project focused on using time wisely and the creative process. Older posts below describe different steps of the project in detail.

Materials Used: computers for research about pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians, notebook paper, recycled cereal boxes, recycled paper grocery bags, crayons, colored pencils, scissors, glue, tissue paper scraps, scrap paper, yarn, hole punch, brain power, and lots of creativity!
