Project Challenge
The Project Challenge group is currently reading The 68 Rooms by Marianne Malone. This books takes place in Chicago and directly at The Art Institute. This spring PC students in grades 6-8 will be taking a field trip to the Art Institute to further explore the rooms itself. This week seventh graders will be working on the "Doodle for Google" project with the themes focus being, "If I could travel in time, I'd visit..."
PC students were instructed to pick a time period in which Jack & Ruthie visit from the Thorne Rooms and use that as their guide to create their Google logo. I ordered a book from the AI and the students have the opportunity to look through the book to help them guide in their search. Along with designing the logo, students need to write a 50 word maximum statement explaining how their doodle expresses the them, "If I could travel in time, I'd visit..."
Entries are due to me by next Monday, March 19.
