== =TAH PROJECT PRESENTATIONS= = [] = = = = MONDAY PM =
 * Stephanie Spry** (Addison) Global…making connections…”Every community can be linked to world culture; this project can focus on any community, its industries and neighboring communities.” []


 * Tim Tobin** (Elmira) Government 12 and US History 11…Supreme Court Case Law…with “special emphasis on the first and fourth amendments.” Students researched and studied “the Court’s judicial decisions in the areas of personal liberties, civil rights, legal rights in criminal proceedings, and protecting the rights of the disadvantaged in American history.” []



=TUESDAY PM=
 * Karen Anglehart** (Elmira) US History 11…Oral History…Grandparent/Elder Project…in the words of a student//…//// "This interview had me learn many things I did not know about her. It seems to me that I myself am a younger version of her... By the end of this interview I knew so much about her my respect grew toward her, not as a grandma but as a friend" ~Arielle [] //
 * Christopher Clark** (Horseheads) US History and Government 11…Election Day…” “One of the things that I liked about this project was the way I set it up. Like anything else in education you have to have a hook in order to get students involved. I think by starting off the project with the students researching two issues they felt strongly about was a great way to encourage the students to want to learn more. Once they had their problems they were all very excited to see what the candidates had to say about their issues.” []

=WEDNESDAY PM=
 * Debra Maloney** (Horseheads) AP History 11…”The Lure of the West”… “Using a variety of sources, including art and music, students will be examining Americans’ westward expansion and its effects on the environment, Native Americans, or politics. The project, however, will go beyond the traditional process of writing a college-level research paper in that students will be analyzing and incorporating a visual source.” []


 * Erin Shane** (Horseheads) Regents US History 11 & 12…Immigration and Ellis Island… “The purpose and objective for this project is to have the students demonstrate the ability to research various immigrant groups, the development of Ellis Island and Immigration law. Students will also role-play immigration officials and immigrants. Students will be able to explain the impact of immigration upon the United States of America’s culture, government and economy as well as the impact of the Ellis Island experience on immigrants.” []

=**FRIDAY PM**= Jim Cotton and Dennis Young (Bath CSD) Civil War Emmersion Day: Provide the students with a hands-on experience with history, as this is a much more effective method of conveying important themes from the Civil War era than lecture or other standard methods. The objectives are to expose the students to the true life of a soldier and learn about the Civil War from differing perspectives, while learning the importance of teamwork to accomplish tasks. []


 * Nadine Farrell** (Addison) Social Studies 5…Differences Divide Britain and Its Colonies-research and role playing… “I was working with a wide range of student abilities and when I first introduced this project, there were many mixed emotions. Some students wanted their every question and concern answered at that moment, some did not even have a clue of what I was talking about, and then there were some who plain didn’t even care to listen to what I was explaining. I knew then, that I had my work cut out for me and that this would be a lot more difficult than simply reading a few chapters on the American Revolution from our textbooks.” []
