2007 Sculptors of History

     The Sculptors of History Project is one in which 8^th grade students are expected to research a significant person from the past and then “become” that person in an oral presentation on Sculptors of History Fair Day.

     Students must first choose a subject (Math/Philosophy, Language Arts, Science, Recent History, Ancient History, Athletics or Music/Art).  The teachers responsible for the individual subjects will assign to each student a historically significant person for their research.  The teacher that the student has for that subject is his/her mentor for the project.  Each student must thoroughly research the life of the person, write a list of questions and answers, and prepare an oral presentation.

     On Sculptors of History Fair Day, a group of parent volunteers will act as judges and judge the students on their oral presentation and  how well the student answers the questions.  Every student will be judged a total of 2 times with two different judges.  Each judge will use a tally sheet to score the student.  These sheets are then sent to a tally panel of volunteers.  When the presentations are completed, students are dismissed for lunch and the scores are totaled.  After lunch, students attend an assembly where they will hear a speaker and then the result of the totals and prize awards.
