For the unit 5 task we start off as columbian citizens. We went on different trips around the world. We had to plan how we got there as well as where we would be staying. We also had to find activites to do as well as the weather.
To complete this project we worked in groups. For this project we studied trees. We studied Symbolism of trees and comparing what they represent in various cultures and time periods. As well as The evolution of trees as symbols throughout various religions. We also sculpted the Ancient Mayan Tree of Life with clay.
We picked a problem that we wanted to change in our school. We choose a shorter school year since if you have went to Drew since kindergarden by the time you graduate you've been to school a full year longer than other kids. We went on a strike outside.
