These newspapers are a rich goldmine for all kinds of research. Now that many historic newspapers are digitized people everywhere can access these primary resources. This in itself is so exciting!
My deadline for the original work was July 1st, a deadline I met. I had revised my work so many times before I turned it in. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to work with a fabulous editor, Martha Kohl. With her help I have revised my work a score more times. Today I submitted my final revision!!!!!! It now goes to the Graphic Artist and will be on their website by January 1, 2012.
This is my first really large free lance project. And I am thrilled. Once it is published on their website postcards will be sent out to every 4th grade teacher in the state. This lesson is actually easily used with older students.
When it is up I will share the link. I hope you will take a look at it and see how you could use it in your classrooms. I would love to hear your thoughts about the lessons.
I feel really good about this project.
I can 'hear' in your words how proud you are, and you should be. Great project and challenging and you did it. It must have been fun to work with an editor too. I'm looking forward to the link. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Ruth. I can't wait to check out the site.
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting Ruth. I know that it will be a great resource for our teachers. Way to go!
