Wrapping it together!

What’s the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word wrapping? The first thing is obviously a package. I think about Christmas time and the part of the year that I dread when trying to make the presents look presentable. So I think that this is going to be a “messy” wrapping. According to the 8Ws developed by Annette Lamb, “Wrapping involves creating and packaging ideas and solutions.” This means creating a product. The hard part is deciding what kind of product I need to create. There are a lot of options and it’s time to choose.

These are some of the options I am considering:

• Map: I can create a map of the Trail of Tears and along with the map, an essay explaining the triumph and journey of the Cherokee Nation.
• Newsletter: One of my favorite things to do is create newsletters. I have an idea to create a newsletter about the nation, Trail of Tears, and the U.S. government.
  
• PowerPoint: This is a product that is used widely these days. It is easy to create and simple to follow for others.
• WebQuest: I have used Webquests in the past and think that it is an excellent way for students to learn. This could also help me with my future career.
• Play: I could create a play to have people reenact the experience.
• Collage: One of my favorite things to do is photography. Within this, I like to create collages of different experiences in my life. This could be done with pictures and photographs.

What I want to do is still being decided...
