E.E. Smith History Class Combines
Drama And Learning
The E.E. Smith Jr. High
eighth grade United States
^ history class has taken an
? entertaining approach to
studying. Last week Mrs.
Zettie Williams' history
class pulled on costumes and
students taught each other
from their roles as new world
discoverers.
The students were each
assigned individuals who
came to America as explorers
and Williams said the assign
^ ment involved independent
research, a poster and a
presentation in costume to
their classmates. Along with
information on the explorer,
students were assigned the
specific task of gathering
data about what the dis
coverers thought the new
world looked like and items
they brought with them to
America.
"The project built a great
deal of enthusiasm among
the students." E.E. Smith
Jr. High teacher Zettie
Williams said. "And. I think
the project has helped make
the students more know
ledgable of the settlement of
North Carolina." As the
students worked on their
individual projects, informa
tion was gathered from a
variety of sources such as the
Duplin County Dorothy
Wightman Library or re
source people within the
community, Williams said.
"The preparation and pre
sentation of the individual
projects was used to give the
students a break from hear
ing history taught from their
textbooks," she added.
Some of the characters
portrayed by the class in
cluded Columbus, Pocahon
tas, Sir Francis Drake, Ver
ranzano, Captain John
Smith, Queen Elizabeth,
Juan Ponce de Leon. Sir
Humphrey Gilbert. Sir
Walter Raleigh. John Cabot,
Roanoke Island, the lost
colony, and Lucas De Ay Hon.
