"See my number 6. It's not all tied in." Having the little mugwumps make a poster is NOT studying a culture or the characters of that era. Are the sayings in Greek?(showing language roots) Are the sayings attributed to the original characters? (famous historical quotes by Greeks) Are the famous characters of the eras identified?(Herodotus of Halicarnassus (fifth century BCE) was the world's first Western historian)
Sorry...this is PR for an upcoming movie. If it spurs some of the young minds of mush to study further, good for them. But lets face reality when it thrusts itself onto the scene.
Having the little mugwumps make a poster is NOT studying a culture or the characters of that era. Use some logic, please. These elementary schoolers make the posters
after they have read the materials involved and done the associated learning activities.
Are the sayings in Greek?(showing language roots) Are the sayings attributed to the original characters? (famous historical quotes by Greeks) Are the famous characters of the eras identified? The little girl did not mean "sayings" literally. She meant that she was supposed to tell important and interesting facts about her topic on the poster. Remember, please, we are talking about a 3rd grader and a 5th-grader. They are not ready for "language roots." [Why do I have to tell you that?]
I'm going to work. There's someone above who says that posters seem to be the big deal lately. I agree with her. Kids can learn by making posters, but I don't think that they learn much by reading other kids' posters.
