WK 6 - Columbus. Research. Black Maria

Preliminary research should help you develop stronger research questions.
-what numerical answers do we have so far?
-what new questions can we come up with?


It is currently bear hunting season. Look at how bear hunt information is presented in different ways:
News 12 NJ
NJ.com
VS
Game and Fish Magazine
Born Free
VS
Realtree Store
VS
NJDEP Fish and Wildlife




In your notebooks answer these questions:

This Monday is Columbus Day.  How did we get from 1492 to 1776 to now?

What do you want to know about 1492?

What do you want to celebrate about that time?

60 cities across the US have renamed Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day.  How do you feel about this? What would you want to do?

-------------------------------
Week 7 David Francis Vaughan and Black Maria director Jane Steuerwald will meet our class at 9:30 and take you to the LAUREL HALL SCREENING ROOM where you will participate in the pre-screening JURY of the Black Maria International Film Festival.

STORY MAP ASSIGNMENT Due week 8
Think about how you will use your meadowlands map, and the photos you took, to tell a story. Maybe the story is from that day, or from your past. Maybe the story is a family story and  just one aspect of it, a bridge, a boat, pollution, zoning, fishing, etc is related tangentially to your meadowlands day and map.

Maybe you need to compare your map to another map. Or your story to another story.


Keep your own story in mind as you watch the Black Maria film submissions.

Did you see a story that was clearly told and which you responded to personally?

What makes a good story?


When finished, your story will be presented to the class using Powerpoint, your images and maps from the Meadowlands, and additional images.
