Greendale Middle School's social studies teachers worked together during the district's digital learning period this spring to create a Project-Based Learning experience for students. Their purpose was to help kids process their experiences during the pandemic by helping them to realize that they are living history. Each was given this information and assigned the prompt:
IMAGINE...
It is the year 2120. Your great, great grandchildren are digging and playing in the yard that used to be your home. They hit something hard. With a burst of energy, they continue digging until they uncover a case that has your name engraved on the outside. They hurry inside panting with excitement. With their mom’s help, they open the case and discover a treasure from the spring of 2020, one hundred years ago, from you, their great, great, grandparent.
What artifacts tell your story?
Students kept a journal of their experiences over the weeks school was closed due to the pandemic. Each ended the project by selecting an artifact as evidence of their experiences. From the collected artifacts, the teachers created a TIME Magazine about the Pandemic of 2020 for each level/teacher in the middle school.
