Jigsaw Puzzles, Portraits and Eggshell pics

Each student is currently designing their own jigsaw puzzle to share with their  buddy. It is based on some aspect of their colonial figure's life and will be an inclusion in the historical show bag. They made a box, designed a puzzle and need to supply appropriate information about it to a seven year old audience. This information will be typed up and appear inside the lid of the box.

Time lines Progressing well...a focus for this week June 8-12th

The emphasis is obviously on sourcing accurate and reliable information from the web and from books and magazines, on ordering events in time, using a scale, adding appropriate illustrations and of course choosing the most interesting and important landmarks in their chosen person's life time. John Batman was not as squeaky clean as I believed! Students had to make a lot of decisions about layout, size of timelines, choice of symbols or illustrations, and check inconsistencies in the information available from both primary and secondary sources.

Gosh...how tall is this girl!

Collecting information

Well on her way...
