Think Show
Think Show will be held on March 1st, 2012. This year, students will be using the projects that they created for Campus School’s Centennial Celebration as the basis for their Think Show projects. Students who researched “Costs of Living,” were not asked to write a narrative for the Centennial Celebration. However, every student will now be required to create a written narrative for the Think Show. Please use the following guidelines – as well as your initial narrative - to assist you in the writing process:
o Narratives must answer the following question:
How did ___________________impact life during 1920 – 1929, as well as life today? (Music, History, Media, Costs of Living)
o Narratives must include three paragraphs of at least 5 sentences each (Introduction, Body, Conclusion). Remember to use an inviting opening, as well as an effective ending!
o Your conclusion must include a reflection of what you learned, as well as your experience working on this project.
o Use Courier Font (size 14) to give narratives the look of a typed document from the 1920’s.
o Students will use the original artifacts from the Centennial Celebration to accompany their Think Show projects.
!!!!TYPED NARRATIVES ARE DUE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17!!!!
In order to give students the time that they will need to produce “museum quality” Think Show projects, there will be no other Homefun this week!
