2-3's presented essays, three-dimensional models and murals showing the changing landscape in Rensselaer County from Native American times to today at the Rensselaer County Historical Society. Their exhibit opening was held on Thursday night for assembled families, teachers and docents. At the end of the evening, students presented items for a time capsule that will be kept in the museum archives.

4-5's presented a Living Museum of History Makers today. Their displays included posters, PowerPoints, timelines, masks, artifacts, and oral presentations.
Having an audience raises the stakes for students - it enhances the quality and importance of the research and presentation and gives incredible meaning to the whole project!
