I have an idea for a project, but I still need to decide which direction to take it. I generate ideas for curriculum-based projects intended to be used in K-12 classrooms. It always helps if I can provide an example of what a finished project would look like. Since I don’t have access to middle or high school students I must create these examples myself.<\/p>\n

So, here is the dilemma. What skill area should be the focus of this example. I could turn this into a history project – what can we learn from photos as primary source documents. For example, do you view any evidence of gender bias in this image.<\/p>\n

I am leaning toward creative writing – historical fiction with a humorous bent. I don’t have to make up Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon. I lived on a nearby farm. Maybe I should model my effort after “A league of their own”. I think that will be it – the semi-true story of the Iowa Lutheran Winter Dartball League.<\/p>\n
