Our school administration has placed a high priority on improving writing skills for all our students. Our town has a rich history including railroads, trains, rivers, caves, and Native Americans. Students have enjoyed the stories I have shared with them this year about our Native American history. There is so much more for them to investigate and get excited about. In art class we will research, write, and illustrate local history through stories and illustrations. These art supplies will provide materials for our students to be successful. Students will use the story boards to plan their stories and illustrations. After peer review and teacher editing, the final story will be transfered to watercolor paper and painted with watercolor. I would love to publish a compilation of these stories, even locally for our small town museum. Most of our students come from extreme poverty and have little to do outside of school. This project could be extended after school and during the summer. There is little in the way of organized opportunities for our students outside of school.
