Conclusion
Congratulations Students!
We have just completed our Quilt to Freedom Web Quest. For the final part of your project you will be creating your own interpretations of the important person or event that you have studied. Reflect back on all that you have learned to create a short skit to teach the class about your person or event. Each person in your group must speak and you may use other classmates. Make sure to use props from home or from school.
You should include the "who, what, when, where, how, and why" aspects of your patch piece in your drama. Since you will be teaching the class, please have two questions prepared to ask the class to help assess their learning. Also, be prepared to answer any questions that I may have about your project.
Once the class has finished their skits, we will hang our pieces together in the hall to form our Freedom Quilt.
