Inter-American Magnet School in Chicago
About
91´«Ã½
Francis Feeley, school librarian at Inter-American Magnet School, developed and submitted the winning program, titled “Who Are We?” The program challenged 7th and 8th grade students to explore the individual and collective behavior of human beings in the past and present in a series of quarterly research projects. Using print and online resources and multiple social networking tools, students worked in small groups to research and create humanities-based presentations on topics such as the demographics of the U.S. population, protest movements throughout U.S. history, global human rights and the lives and works of several historical leaders and change makers. More information on the “Who Are We?” program can be found at: .
