=The Second Grade Legend Project =

The Second Grade students hear and read many Native American legends throughout the school year. Learning what a legend is and why it is an important part of the Native American culture is a key part of the curriculum. In an effort to show an understanding of a legend, the students were asked to plan and present their own legends involving a desert animal. Each student worked with a partner to plan out the story. Then they were asked to present it as a "breaking news story". The stories were recorded and are attached for you to view.

In order to complete the project successfully the students had to work collaboratively and problem solve, think creatively and communicate their ideas using technology. This was truly a 21st Century project! Click here to see videos.
