Episode+4+Community+Identity+(Building+Context)


 * The activities in this episode developed the concept of community, traditions, and culture. To get students thinking about community identity we talked about:** **What special events are celebrated in Lake Town, and what features of Lake Town make it different from other communities.**

**The first activity they did last week was to** **create their own Lake Town History Timeline. First, we brainstormed as a class some events that could be critical for the development of the community, and we decided that our community was established in 1901. After that, each child was asked to place 10 events, in sequential order, on a draft timeline. They were given a rubric as a guide to try their best work.**

Then s tudents were arranged into groups of three or four. Each group was responsible for completing a commercial and newscast about something in the community. Students wrote scripts, made cue cards and promps, and practiced before using a Flip Camera to record. Check out the recordings below:
