Comments from Mrs. Rhein's sixth graders:
"We thought it got our brains working because we got to use problem solving
and deductive reasoning. We learned how to work better in groups and how to
problem solve more effectively." B and N
"We learned how to find the longitude if you only know the sunrise and
sunset data." J and T
We would like ". . . a physical feature map and give more clues." Also, we
liked this project because . . . " it makes you excited, it makes you
research and get your mind working." A and L
"The directions were very understandable and it was fun." M and E
"It was fun and challenging." T and J
"We learned a lot about our mystery cities!"
"Fabulous project! The additional projects and points of interest were most
intriguing! This project was a delightful way of learning and integrating
different academic disciplines. Also the learning/researching levels met the
variety of my students' academic abilities. Everyone was involved! Thank you
for this project! We look forward to the finale!" Mrs. Rhein
