September Additional Blog Post

Over the past couple weeks at my mentorship, the students have been learning about the American Revolution. During this time my mentor and I brainstormed ideas for a project that they could work on. One of the ideas was to have the students make a passport. They would put a picture of themselves inside along with all their personal info so it could be like an authentic passport. With this the students would pretend like they visited the major cities in the Original Thirteen Colonies, they were cities like Boston, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Charleston. For each city they, "visited," they would write down some facts about each city and talk about some events that were going on  in the city during the Revolutionary War. At the end once they were done filling out all the information about each city they would receive a stamp of approval so it seemed liked they actually visited that city. It was a really fun project to design and a lot of the students really enjoyed it. Below is a picture of Walnut Grove Intermediate, the school I am doing my mentorship at.
