This week we eulogized big businessmen of the Gilded Age. We learned that many things that made these men so rich and successful, also made them hated by many people. Below are some photos of the group presentations.
Some of our students took me up on the bonus point opportunity. Zenas is certainly dressed respectfully for the "eulogy" of his robber baron.
Tobias also looked the part of a attendee in mourning.
The students did a great job of summing up the lives of these men visually by illustrating the most important aspects of their lives on their tombsones. I also really enjoyed reading the summarizing quotes they came up with for their "captains of industry"
We are blessed at LHS to have some very talented artists. You will see their wonderful work in the following slides.
I don't think Cameo is too fond of her robber baron if this photo is any indication:>)
Christina was proud of her artistic rendering of Andrew Carnegie. They did a great job presenting him to the class.
Our resident artists, Ashlea and Armand wowed us as usual with their artistic talent.
I am proud of your research and presentations. Your work did not go unnoticed! It will come in handy in the coming days when you write your portfolio entry essay about your opinion of one of these famous/infamous men.
Bye for now,
Mrs. Coleman
