La toile

As a social studies inquiry on the pioneer lifestyle, we analyzed these photos brought in by one of our students. We examined the photos of her distant relatives and tried to imagine various aspects of their lives. Some students thought that they made their own clothes, were farmers or guessed the years they were born. After sharing our ideas, I read to them the information that was passed onto me about the couple. Some of our guesses were right! We later made this web to demonstrate our thinking. If you have any photos or old objects from the pioneer times and would like to share them with our class please do!
