Cultural Inquiry Projects

We've started group inquiry projects for social studies and reading. The students turned in questions they would like to research and everyone was able to get their first choice.

• Sports: James, Alejandro, Jeonpyo, Jordan, Matthew, and Carlos. These students will be studying the effects of a culture upon its popular sports.
• Yodeling: The 3 Camilas and Briana. These students will study how yodeling affected and was affected by different cultures.
• Double-dutch Jump-roping: Catalina and Sunny. These students will study the cultural effects of cities on the types of games that are played there.
• Automobiles: Nick. This student will study the effect of mass-produced automobiles on the American culture.

The presentation of their projects will be February 11th. They will take an exam about culture over Voice Threads (on the Internet) on February 12th. 2nd - 5th grade are involved in this cultural project and are aided by the Spanish teachers, the Art teacher, the Music teacher, and the Computer and PE teachers! Talk about collaboration.
