The Cigar Box Project
In this episode they interview the professional development teacher from a science school. Which is a school based on inquiry. There pillars of education include science, technology and outdoor education. I think it is so cool to be able to include outdoor education in the curriculum. I love the outdoors!
the school is in Canada and they do the cigar box project for history. The students (7 grade) study, analyze and collect documents and artifacts that they think shapes their history. Then they graphically design their own unique cigar box panels. By the end they get to build their own wooden cigar box creating their own historical artifact. This is really neat way to learn about their country's history! I think it is a lesson they will never forget!
