| Answering questions about Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, or Math. The kids were armed with questions about all kinds of things and were completely captivated by the detail and knowledge of everyone with Latah Railway Club. The members told stories of what they designed and how they created their work. They talked about the cooperative spirit it takes to do these huge layouts. Many were working in little areas on parts of a train or landscape. The biggest excitement was that the kids were able to walk behind the scenes in the big room and saw the knobs, unused trains, paper mache, and tools. |
Everyone was so absorbed. The kids did a sketch of something
wanted. The wrote vocabulary and took notes. We did a jig-saw protocol type of note taking. The kids got back with their group when we returned to compare notes
