Theatrical Presentation
By SFteacher

How about having students research a relative who emigrated to America and on a designated day have them dress up as that relative and give a 2-3 minute presentation.
Also, in my class we do something called Heritage Dolls, it's a paper version of this idea. The students receive a blackline master of a doll (can fit on an 81/2 x 11 paper). They take this home and have mom/dad help them trace it on cardboard. They dress their doll to represent the country (i.e. Germany = liederhosen) and fill in a two page handout that we give. On the handout are questions
1. Which ancestor did you choose?
2. | |
Discuss what they're wearing and tell more about this person.
It's simple but informative. Once the class presents they I post the dolls around a world map ($10 at the local teacher store) and it turns out to be a wonderful, visual presentation.
Hope that helps!
