We did a project on Lincoln High. We got to interview, research, and visit our site. Going to the site helped us imagine students there in the 1950's and where they stood or hung out.

Every school has tales, like ghosts, phantoms, or any scary stories! When we went to the south wing, it felt really creepy. Just listening to the emptiness of the hall, with only the sound of the heater, made us have goosebumps.
Learning and researching the site got us to think, and sometimes it was devastating because we couldn't find information. The fun part of this project was interviewing the interviewees and getting nervious. We also got to go to Jack Straw Productions to practice our lines and record our voices. The hard part was putting all the information together for writing the script and going on this web site.
We really enjoyed doing this project because we got to study a place we didn't know the history of. This project made us feel like we're part of a news crew for Jack Straw. If we got to do this again, it would be really fun.
