FROZEN: MOMENTS IN HISTORY

Students at Central High School gathered around an oversized set of photo prints documenting different moments of historical eras. These carefully selected sets correlate with the social studies history curriculum as students examine the various historical images and take notes on their observations. They formulated questions about the photos and then conducted research. The young budding researchers took what they learned and composed a story reflecting the image itself during that historical time.

Frozen: Moments in History was a purposeful and creative learning opportunity for students to build reading, and writing and researching skills. Students collaborated with their peers, teachers and the teacher librarian to produce a product and share with others. The products were displayed in the library and students voted on which student-created project they thought was informative and captured the historical event with creativity and strong design.
