Grade 5 Capstone Exhibition
See photos and video from the Grade 5 Capstone Exhibition.
The Grade Five Capstone Exhibition is a challenging and exciting rite-of-passage for each student. It is an opportunity for students to use all of the skills they have acquired over the course of their Lower School career.
The essential question that is woven throughout the Fifth Grade curriculum is “What is Independence?” It is with this focus in mind that Fifth Graders are asked to select their own topic: a person, group of people, or event from the time period they have studied between the 1200s-1700s. This long-term research project has three required components: a writing assignment, an original visual component that is created in art class, and an oral presentation that is given to an audience in the Theatre.
At the Exhibition (pictured here) students shared their research and unique perspectives about the topic that they have immersed themselves in the last three months of the Lower School years. Fifth Graders exhibited their research paper and original hand-made visual.
