Fifth graders used
their knowledge of World War II to write radio dramas set against the backdrop
of the conflict. To learn about the art
of creating radio drama, the students participated in a workshop at Bricolage
Production Co. After performing and
producing their dramas using Audacity software, the students built AM/FM
radios.
This year’s
enrichment group studied important documents from American history, including
the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the
Emancipation Proclamation, Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, and President
Kennedy’s inaugural address.
