Culminating Project: Community Helper Fashion Show
Have students dress in the "uniform" of a community helper. Take their picture and record a statement from them explaining who they are, what they do and the tools they use to do their job. Put the pictures and audio together in a slideshow or podcast and play for the students. We do this on Halloween and invite the parents. We play the slideshow and then students "walk the runway". They have a great time!
