6th Grade SCS History Project

What can we learn about SCS History to share with our community and the world? Using a WebQuest, the 6th graders are doing research to discover all that they can in order to share the information with others on the web. http://questgarden.com/102/06/5/100501210852/

In learning about doing internet searches, our 6th graders have discovered that there is very little on the web about our school. It became our mission to do something about that. It has meant doing deeper internet searches, digging through old yearbooks and photos, interviewing people who have been part of our school history, and making a visit to the Smithtown Public Library to learn to use the microfilm readers and get more information on local history.

The two classes are collaborating on the project, and each class has been divided into small groups of 4-6 students, with each group responsible for a different area of the research. When we are finished collecting our data, we will use it to write a more in-depth article for wikipedia to expand the information already there on our school, and to write an article for the history page of our soon to be released new SCS website.
