When we started the CSI project Mrs. La Mar asked us what we
knew about cemeteries. This is our list;
 |
Cemeteries are often next to
churches |
|
People often put flowers there
on Memorial Day to remember the people who died. |
|
On headstones the person who
makes the headstone always carve their names out so that you
can find the name of the person who is buried there. |
|
Not all headstones have to be
facing upwards or are upright. |
|
People that are visiting the
graves leave notes for the relatives that died. |
|
All graveyards for the crosses
are for people who died in the war. People who die in wars
have a cross put on the gravestone. |
|
After we told her what we knew, she asked
us to SHOW her by building a cemetery diorama. Our
class is making paper models of cemeteries to see what we know
about cemeteries. We did this before we studied our own
cemetery.
Each group made a diorama then we shared them with the class.
Each group looked at all of the other dioramas to see what we
learned from the others, then we went back and added more
information to ours. After we are
done, we are going to change our models to show what we learned.
When
we looked at the graphs we saw all sorts of facts that we could
add to our dioramas. |
