Kim's+Final+Project

=//Final Local History Project//= Hi - If you were wondering about "Bryan and Kim," here is a pic to put a face with the project!

While working with 8th graders, it has been brought to my attention numerous times that where we live is either "the most boring place on Earth," or "I will never leave Waynesboro!" It seems both perspectives are extremes but worthy of some serious consideration. This year, when students write their 8th grade research paper, I plan on asking them to address both comments. Our focus will be on the history of employment in and around the local area. In other words, I would like the research question to be something like: //Can I be a ___ and still live in this town?//
