Sense of Place
Welcome to the world of Sense of Place! We are excited to introduce you to our exploration into the seacoast of New Hampshire. We will be embarking on a cross-curricular, expeditionary project which students will be working on for the remainder of the year.
The goal of the project is to have students use various disciplines, skills and techniques to display and communicate what they have learned about a topic that interests them. Students will create essential questions, conduct research, use primary sources and share their findings through a variety of products. The expected outcome is for students to share something new about the topic (new twist, unique presentation, new knowledge). |
