El Education: Discovering the Genesee Volume 1

Discovering the Genesee was created by third grade students in Rochester, New York, as part of a Learning Expedition on local history. Student work was guided by four questions, which became the chapters of their book: Who were the people of the Genesee Valley? Why did people come to live here? What was life like for the people who lived here? What is the science of the Genesee River? Each student created a two-page entry for the book, containing written information, biographical information on the author, and photography and/or hand-drawn artwork.
