Stanley+County

Stanley County: Assessment: Do a performance- either performed or recorded Subject matter content: The major industry in the area and how it changed over time. How can an agriculture county evolve with time. Why were bridges such a big deal for the area? The major businesses and how they changed. What was trade life like since there are not many railways for trade? How has education changed and the affect on the students? What is the importance of the dams and the electricity in the area? What type of Aristocracy in the area? Present: Inquiry project. Introduce the topic in the same way we did today (looking through the postcards). Students can see the places they have grown up in earlier times. Most of the people are still alive in the area, so they could interview different individuals and hear their parents’ stories. They could also learn about historical places that are not presented in the postcards and go visit them.Students could act out their play with he historical areas in the background or interacting with it. It can be either a small group or a class wide project. We could then present it to the county as a fundraiser for the school.
