This Week In Exhibition...

The 5th graders of Roberts Elementary School have been researching for Exhibition. This week, the students from Ms. St.Amand’s class are here to tell you what they think about the research so far. It’s harder than most students imagined it would be, and many of them are struggling to keep up with how much time they have left to complete this part of Exhibition. They think their mentors help a lot by leading them through the exciting process of learning more about their topics. Narrowing down those topics has been challenging for the majority of the 5th graders! Most of all, it is a very fun and exciting experience for all of us!!!! And just think, this is just the beginning! Please make a comment to let us know what you think about it!

  1. I always thought exhibition would be easy and the process wouldn't be 3 months. I never thought that we would have to narrow it down so much from the topic we chose and I also didn't think that we would talk about the things we do in mentor meetings and all the research we would get and pull from the internet. I am also glad we are learning how to copy and paste because I've always wondered how people do that and to get more experience with getting research from the internet

  2. one thing i would like to add to this is that working in the laptops for research was really fun and that the hardest part SO FAR was transferring the info into our own words. I would LOVE to work on exhibition all day long!!!!

  4. I think exhibition is a very good thing for us to do. We are now in the reasearch phase of the project. We get on the computers and copy and paste,print it out and READ,READ,READ
    over our reasearch so we will be an expert on our topic. If I could,I would work on exhibition all day!

  13. I think that 5th grade Exhibition is very fun, but also very hard. The thing I like so far about Exhibition is meeting with our mentors. The hardest part about Exhibition is transfering the research into our own words.

    EXHIBITION ROCKS!

  14. Fifth grade exhibition research has been difficult and a bit stressful. It's so easy to lose time and get off topic! But, our topic is interesting, and I am learning lots!

  15. One word hard. You always have to be on top and on task, finding information and copying and pasting, copying and pasting. I love meeting with our Mentors and even though transferring information can be hard, it helps you in the long run to be an expert. :)

  16. I think that exhibition is really cool, but I also think that you need to have a lot of responsibility, because on must be on time for things

  22. I like exhibition because you I am finding new information that I wouldn't normalltthink about.

  23. I think that exhibition was harder than I thought it was going to be. I think that finding the right reasearch to print out was hard because we narrowed down our topic to how gang affect the community.This exhibition project will help us in the future.Our Mentor helps us a lot. He knows a lot about our topic. He doesn't like to do things a boring way so he likes to be silly.I learn a lot of new things.

  24. I think exhibition is awsome because you get
    to learn alot from your research and we got
    to come up with our own topic. I also think
    finding the reasearch was REALLY hard

    EXHIBITION ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think that the best part of Exhibition is that you can learn more about a topic that you are very interested in, and that you picked yourself. It`s not the same if the teacher just picks it for you. I like being able to exchange emails with experts and interviewing people. I don`t like that you have to hand in the research packets. It would probably be much better if you could just recieve the instructions like we did, and then do the project and have the teachers judge you by the final product that everyone else sees. Apart from that, I think Exhibition rocks!

    I think that then best part of exhibition is hosting interviews. At first it seems nerve racking, but after you get used to it, it is really fun!Talking to a real person saves you the trouble of filtering out all the unwanted information from the research.That way you can save time and have a great time. It is a win win.Plus you can drive the interview. That way, you can get only the information you need and nothing you don't.

    Exhibition is AWESOME!!!!!

Exhibition rules!!!

  29. Exhibition is a challenge in the part of planing a good action plan. On that part its very interesting to find a way to help others. It's fun and you could even maybe lead to a big difference!!!

  31. I think Exhibition is very fun but challenging,too.The hard part is when you have to come up with an action plan that has to relate to your topic and making a difference in the world.

  32. I agree with Anais. Exhibition is challenging.That's why it is so fun doing exhibition.The action is the hardest part in my opinion. I can't find any actions that relate to my topic.

  33. I love exhibition. I think it is a fun way to learn. I think my favorite part will be the action part because you get to help people and for our project (maybe) will be educating people. The most fun will be the visual part. We can show people what we learned and teach them and have fun.
    I hope we do great on exhibition!!!!

  34. I like exhibition because I like to learn more about the topic I have chosen. The fun thing about exhibition is meeting with our mentors and talking to them about our topic. I also think finding an action is hard but i still enjoy exhibition!

  35. Exhibition is fun but very difficult.You have to work hard, but the end result is good.I like having a mentor to help guide us in exhibition.I can't wait for exhibition day.

  36. I like exhibition because you can talk to (and contact) new people,and be an expert on things. It was harder than I expected, though.

  37. I agrre with Shruti. For me, one of the best parts of Exhibition so far is learning more about the topic and becoming an expert on it and being able to educate other people about it. The action seems hard to do at first, but planning it and seeing how it turns out is really interesting because it is what seperates Exhbition from a normal research project.

  38. I think that exhibition is challenging but fun. You pick a topic and you research about and maybe later we could be pro on that topic and that info may help later on

    The best part about exhibtion is researching because it is fun going on the internet to look for facts and look in a book for information. You get to learn new facts you did not know.

  43. Exhibition seems really fun but it is hard. The info part is easy but when you get to the action part it's kind of hard to see how your action helps and relate to the topic. Also I'm totally glad that I have a partner and a mentor to help me!

  49. I agree with all of these comments, exhibition is hard and challenging but fun at the same time we have to work hard and get everything in order to get ready for mentor meetings,action planning and of course exhibition.Are mentors help us so much.But Ithink that exhibition is great practice for us for when we get to middle school,exhibitions also kind of like a business with getting everything ready and oranized on time.But most of all exhibition ROCKS!!!!
