Welcome to the Paul Revere House in Boston! This is a SAMPLE of the kinds of research presentation that the kids experienced. This podcast was created by Mrs. Ferrazzani media type="file" key="Paul Rever House by Mrs. Ferrazzani.m4a" width="300" height="50"

This is the handout that was given to the parents so that they could experience the final product in a unique way.
Our 3rd grade research projects have been posted on **iTunes**. The podcast channel is called **//Killam On Air//**. In the library over the past months students have been learning about famous people from Massachusetts. The project was called, //Massachusetts Through Museums//. Using educational databases and Google Maps students researched and went on virtual field trips to investigate local museums around Massachusetts. They learned about some important historical figures or places around this area that are immortalized through local museums. Students took lots of notes and then wrote a “commercial” that included biographical or background information about the person or place. The goal was to encourage others to visit the museum to learn more. Use this link to see all the places we went. http://ferrazzanilibraryactivities09-10.wikispaces.com/Third+Grade While in iTunes, click on the podcast icon on the left.
