English 11 Legacy Project 2023

Juniors chose from people who had settled in the Denmark area. They researched the historical context and how it impacted their person's choices and contributions (example: settler, veteran, inventor, businessman, writer, etc.). They considered what they did, why they did it, how they fit in within the time period, what their contributions were to Copenhagen/Denmark, and why they are worthy of remembrance. They wrote a research paper and created videos which will be linked to the person's gravestone or historical marker using a QR code.
