My Project

Creativity sparks the imagination and can enhance understanding by motivating students to read deeper and reach further. Maker's Space Part 1 gave my students the tools that they were drawn to use in showing their understanding of events from the past, human motivations to act, as well as cause and effect relationships that tie to the present.

Student's sense of civic virtue grew as they designed and made campaign badges, tee shirts that speak to issues they care about, and printed portraits they have recreated from history.

Students took an event, or a primary source (journal, letter, document) or portrait and broaden their understanding of our timeline by creating skits, poems, songs, portraits with biographies, inspirational tee shirts, mugs, souvenir plates, as well as campaign badges and buttons. The art supplies you are providing to support their creativity makes these projects memorable and motivating. Having a U.S. History Maker's Space will enhance our students motivation to engage, read deeper, and reach further.
