Project Based Learning: Picnic Tabletop Displays

Austin Dam Ruins


I do not have a wide-lens camera and am unable to show you these displays in their entirety as one piece.  However, using your imagination, you can conclude that the student's invested a great deal of thought, time and effort in producing a quality product.

Both Potter County Today and Solomonswords contain articles on this project. Please visit those sites.
