The Memory Project Brief
Challenge Details Released
The TISK
Throughout the ages, older people have been important teachers, helping younger generations understand their past and imparting wisdom for the future. Now, perhaps more than ever, younger generations are disconnected from these important sources of knowledge and wisdom.
The TASK
Connect with an older person in your community to learn about an important event in US history. Create a piece of art that tells the story of their remembrance- a song, a poem, a painting, a movie - to instruct and inform future generations.
STANDARDS ALIGNMENT
This TiskTask challenge meets the following Georgia Standards of Excellence for US (or Georgia) History and Fine Arts (grades 8 - 12). See tasks above for details on standards and project pacing.
