Scenes From An Independent Study Fair

As the first trimester of the school year came to a close this past week, the 7th and 8th graders from my Independent Study Choice Class held a "fair" to show off their work. Each student studied a topic of their choice, through an inquiry process that included formulating questions, using a variety of sources, and designing an original project. In preparation for the fair, each student also completed a written abstract of their work as well as a sign to promote their project. Our Independent Study Fair was attended with 3 or 4 other classes as well as a number of teachers and parents. Our class was fortunate to have Mrs. Mildrum working with us throughout the Trimester. Her support for the inquiry process and projects helped make this such a successful learning experience.  Mrs. Volatile-Wood was our photographer, documenting the students sharing their learning and projects.
