The students completed their projects and another teacher came into the classroom to see how they looked. Her class was completing the same unit, however, they were not doing dioramas. We combined ideas, and to help the students see how what they were doing matters, we created a "museum tour" of their work. Our class stood behind their dioramas and were presenting to our neighboring class. The other group of students were taking a "tour" of Native Americans and were taking notes of what they learned. Our class was responsible for making sure that the other class learned from their presentations. The neighboring class wanted to see how their Native American group lived, and how our class showed how they lived.
I believe the students benefited from this tour of Native Americans. They were familiar with presenting because they had completed their presentations the day before, so they were calm. It helped the students with their speaking skills, and their taking turn skills of letting other people present as well.
While the students were presenting, I walked around listening to their presentations as well as taking pictures of what they were doing!
