History Fair 4321!

Hello Ladies and Germs,

Welcome to assignment #21.
Last week we had our second annual history fair, and it was a success!
So I worked with Amy, and our topic was on maple syrup.

4 - The four most interesting things that you learned about your topic in your researching.

>Something I learned about our topic, was the fact that the Algonquin Tribe were the first people to discover maple syrup.

>Another thing I learned was the fact that the Algonquin tribe called it 'sizibuckwud,' which meant 'drawn from wood,' in their language.

>I learned that the Algonquin tribe were really resourceful. They would cut the tree with a tomohawk, which was an axe, made of animal bone or stone. Then they'd take a piece of birch bark, or reed, and place it underneath the cut, and let the same flow in their basket. Which was woven with birch bark, or made of deerskin.

>The last thing that I found interseting was the fact there is something called Maple Syrup Urine Diesease. (MSUD). It is a disease passed down from families, and you could get comas, siezures, or muscle spasms. They call it Maple Syrup Urine Disease, because when you have this disease, your urine has the scent of maple syrup.

3- Three things that you felt proud of on the day of the Fair.>One thing I really felt proud of on the day of the fair, is putting up our poster with confidence, and displaying all our hardwork with pride.

>Another thing I felt proud of on the day of the fair was when we were doing our speech. Our judges said they loved our two perspectives. I was a lost voice, from the Aboriginal tribe. And Amy was a European, who adapted our idea for tapping maple syrup.

>The last thing I felt proud of at the fair was when kids were coming up to our poster to learn more about our topic, and saying how interesting it was.

2 - Two specific researching or presentation techniques that were helpful to make your project so wonderful.
>One thing that enchanced our presentation was the fact Amy and I did two views about our perspective on our topic - maple syrup.

>Another presentation technique we used was alittle bit of costumes and props, to enchance our speech. I dressed like an aboriginal, (with feathers, and all). And Amy was dressed as an old fashioned European, with a long skirt, and corsette.

1 - One suggestion to make the History Fair even better in the future.
>My only suggestion to make the History Fair better for the future, is that the judges will go to whoever will be judged first. Because me and Amy only been judged by one person, and were waiting for a long time for another one.
