A Day in the Life: Halloween Presentations in the Erdkinder

On Halloween, the EK students presented their "Historical Halloween" Reports to their parents.

Each student selected a hero or heroine from history, or from a book. The characters had to be from Europe as this is the continent we are studying this year. They also had to compile a research project which included a five-paragraph essay, an oral report (spoken as their chosen character), provide an MLA-Style bibliography, and include timelines, maps, pictures and - if relevant - make props.

After delivering their speeches, the students invited their audience back to their environment to view their project boards.

All of the students' writing, research and artwork is on display in the San Mateo building's hallway. We hope you will stop in and take a look!

Here are our "characters":

 Alexander The Great!

 Boudicca, Queen of the Celts!

 The Pied Piper of Hamlin

 Joan of Arc

 Leonardo da Vinci

 Queen Elizabeth I

 Margot Fonteyn

Dobby from Harry Potter series; report about J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling books!
