Hall of Fame

For the last month and a half, Evelyn has been working on a major research project about Amelia Earhart.  She had to read three sources - two books and one website -  before writing a very detailed speech about Earhart.  Her speech had to be less than two minutes long, and that was a challenge.  There is SO much information about Amelia Earhart, it was hard for Evelyn to decide what was should stay in her speech!
Evelyn worked on her research and speech at both home and school (during Language Arts time), and she also created an amazing portrait of Amelia Earhart in Art class.  Her portrait was on display this evening at her school's Hall of Fame event.
 What was the Hall of Fame?  Every 5th-grade student sat at their station, dressed as their person, and presented their speech to guests.  So, for an hour, Evelyn recited her memorized speech about Amelia Earhart to parents, teachers and siblings.  It was a wonderful culmination for her major project!
