Ms.
Salerno's Class: 6-317
Class 6-317 explored the connection between art and community
by examining the graffiti and murals of the Lower East Side.
Through neighborhood walks, photographs, websites, and reproductions,
we analyzed and critiqued the neighborhood images we encounter
everyday. The class decided to create their own mural, which
included positive and peaceful images.

Mr.
Kerne's Class: 6-318
The children wrote their own narratives, assumming the
identities of actual past students of "the old"
P.S. 20 who lived and grew up on the Lower East Side between
50 and 100 years ago. The project also includes dioramas
of the Lower East Side from that time period and a computer
generated oral account by the students about their lives
in the L.E.S.

Ms.
Martinez's Class: 6-312
Students were divided into
groups and researched on the internet, library and classroom
about the different types of mass transportation vehicles.
Each vehicle was described in a summary as well as accompanied
by drawings of each vehicle made by students. The vehicles
began with the oldest form and ended with the most popularly
used modes of transportation today. In addition, students
researched the General Slocum disaster and made a replica
of the General Slocum.
The class also created a QuickTime
movie about Subways. Click here
