The individual project is intended as a vehicle through which students can
communicate effectively what they have learned from this unit. Students should be encouraged to
develop applicable, multi-modal projects–physical or electronic
presentations, original music, plays, oral recitations, original works of art.
Utilizing
copies of original documents, written accounts, and their own oral histories
(stories), there is a wealth of information from which to start. Acknowledging
that much of this information might not be accurate, the purpose of the
individual project is not a factual history but an appreciation for the
process of creating a history. Should any student not have access to his/her
own family's documents, encouragement to develop a plausible, fictionalized
migration history is appropriate. And lastly, the project should be fun.
