End of the Week Project

As a summary activity at the end of the week, we ask each group to produce a project that symbolizes for them what they have learned while at Colonial Williamsburg. These projects may vary from an ABC book, to a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, to the creation of specific lesson plans. Working as a group with your peer facilitator, you will decide upon a project and prepare it for presentation at the end of the week, typically on the final day.

Objectives for the project include:

Review content learned.
Practice good teaching strategies.
Make the material relevant to students and instill in them a passion for being citizens of their communities and our nation.

Please take a few minutes to look at some project samples.
