Hoosier Walk of Fame Update

Due dates for our Hoosier Walk of Fame Projects are fast approaching.  Please look over the following information to help you finish them up! 

Presentation Dress Rehearsal

On May 22nd and 23rd we will be doing practice runs of our presentations.  Please bring all costumes and props for the run through.  I will be grading their projects on these days.  Below you will see the day that the kids signed up to do their run through.  If you are using any props or costumes, I would encourage you to keep them at school after the run throughs so that they will be ready for the following week.  

How will the kids be graded? 

The kids will be receiving two grades for this project; one for social studies and one for listening and speaking.  The social studies grade will be based on the slide show that the students create.  The listening and speaking grade will be based on their oral presentation.   Please don't forget that the kids can access their slideshow and research on google docs.  You do not need to download the google chrome app.  You can just open google form any browser.  The kids will just need to log in.  They can work on their projects at home if they need some more time.

Our Goal for this Project

Our next step is to take this information we have gathered and create slide show presentations.   These presentations will be shared with our school and community at our Hoosier Walk of Fame.  At the Walk of Fame the students will be presenting information about their Hoosier as if they are that person.  We are encouraging all of the students to dress up like their Hoosier on the day of  their presentations.  

Here we are hard at work...
We are really excited about 
sharing our final products!
