Teacher: Rosie Lenehan
Subject: Social Studies/Reading
Project Name: Biography
The Marvelous Munchkin book club recently read a biography of Harriet
Tubman. As they discussed Harriet Tubman in one of their meetings, they
arrived at the conclusion that when she was alive, Harriet Tubman was
relatively unknown. They were troubled by the lack of recognition that
she got when she was alive, especially given all that she did. We
talked about the reasons for this and we also talked about how it is
that people become famous. I gave them some options for individual or
group projects they could do around the idea of making Harriet Tubman
famous, and they decided to work together on a newscast. This is
entirely student-written, student-filmed, and student-edited, completed
in about 2 hour-long blocks. Also, it was done entirely using an iPad!
