2009 Inauguration Unit Study



For the last two weeks we have been working on an Inauguration Unit Study by Amanda Benette in preparation for this years inauguration. What a great time to work on this unit study! After preparing the journal, we sat glued to the television for three days experiencing history in the making! Amanda Benette's unit study prepared the girls for what was happening during the inauguration. Everything the girls researched came to life. The history of former inaugurations, as well as, the traditions that have been in play since the 1800s. Everything from the church service, to the actual taking of the Oath, to the departure ceremony of the former President, to the parade and the Inaugural Ball! She does a great job in leaving nothing out.
Today, the girls collected all the newspaper clippings leading up to the inauguration, as well as, the actual inauguration articles and decorated their journals with them. They did a beautiful job!
