Small in Size. Big in History.
I didn’t really like the unit that we did on significant objects because I didn’t learn that much. We were assigned a topic, mine was Washington’s farewell address, and we had to find an object that could be significant to this topic. Then we had to right a story about the topic and incorporate our object into the story. My group had a taper candle that George Washington supposedly wrote his farewell address by. We had to present our story to a live audience that could bid on our objects. All of these stories had historical facts in them but we also weaved in some things that didn’t happen but, could have. The bidders knew that these stories were fake but they bid anyway because all the money is going to charity that my class works with called Clinique Monique. I don’t think this was a good way to learn about these topics because I only learned about George Washington’s farewell address and I don’t know anything about the other topics, I don’t even know what the other topics are. Here is a link to my story.
