historical-ish
Posted by nina on July 29, 2010
My writing workshop, “This is What it Was in the 1880s,” ended today with a bang. The kids had fun writing six-word memoirs, which we inserted into the book template at the last second. While the books went to press, I opened a PDF styled after Facebook and let them go to town with it.
The students had a blast. The parents who showed up early were all smiles. A bunch of people (kids and parents) stayed late and didn’t want to leave. I had to email them the template so they could play with it at home. Revisionist history was definitely a success.
Although I would love to post all of their contributions, I’m only sharing a taste. Here’s part of Leif Eriksson’s Facebook Profile, compiled in 10 minutes by Sam, Parker, Carlos, and Finn, ages 11-13. Enjoy.
