We had a trade fair today. This is where each of us brought items in that we had the intentions of trading for other good that other students brought in. There was a wide variety of things brought in ranged from clementine's, cookies figurines, Notre Dame sports memorabilia to a Vera Bradley wallet. It was fun to watch everyone walk around and trade their stuff. I brought the Vera Bradley wallet and no one traded with me. It was still fun to experience how people lived along time ago because this is how people acquired things, they bartered for different things that they wanted. I think this is a good way to bring the past into the present and make it real for the students. It would be great to have the students craft different things in class and let them know they are crafting to trade them NOT keep them and then have a trade fair. I am so excited to try this project in my very own classroom one day!!
