Asian Project Starts With a Bang!

by Andrew Hunt

What is going on in 7th grade? In 7th grade there is an Asian project with all the students.

All the classes in 7th grade and each student will choose one topic and for every class no one can have the same subject. In all there are 50 choices so there is a great selection to choose from. Some of the choices are foot bindings, Mount Everest, and samurai.

The last day to finish this project is Friday the 15th of January. Everybody has chosen their topic and are doing research on their idea. They're making a web with their information and they will make a slide show to present. At the end of their slide show, they will have three questions that people will need to be able to answer from their slide show.


I asked Mrs. Janulis a few questions and she said, “The project has lasted two weeks. One week for getting information and one week to present.” She also said “I hope everyone liked what they got because they got to choose. And no one this year asked about [having two topics] and if someone did, they would have it combined.”


She has been doing this project for 4-5 years and every year gets better and better. Mrs. J. thinks that this is a great way for kids to use technology. Lets hope that everybody's project is great!
