Students research Iowa's parks and trails, plan a day trip to one of the places they learn about, and write a fiction story based on the information they find. Students explore the New York City subway system as a link to the people and places of New York City. Each student reviews the people, places, and events of a particular decade of the 20th Century, writes a report about that decade, and creates a booth of memorabilia, music, dress, pictures and other artifacts representing the time period. This activity will introduce students to the research process while investigating the contributions of key African American leaders in the 1900s. Students will construct a quilt highlighting the achievements of each individual and present this quilt to the community.
Students learn about the use of tapestry in the Middle Ages and then weave their own tapestry.
