Nice job Pat! You sure had a lot of sources. I found it interesting. I espcially loved the pictures of the train stations then and now. I think it is so important for students to see how things can stay the same over the years, and yet change as well. So how did you get your powerpoint ti run all the movies and sound? I see you saved it as a widget...how did you do that? You were an awesome small group buddy! (Susan F)

Pat,

You included a great array of primary sources and you put together a very comprehensive presentation. I’m sure your students will learn a lot through your presentation about your topic as well as develop their critical thinking skills. Utilizing all the different types of primary sources like you did will appeal to all types of learners. Great Job!!!

Wow, Pat, this is great. I really enjoyed watching your PowerPoint presentation. You have included so many meaningful primary sources. You have so many great pictures that really bring your presentation to life. I love the videos and song you used as well. The political cartoons, books, and maps are all very cool. I think this presentation will teach your students so much. They will enjoy learning about trains. You definitely have local and national interest with this presentation. Well done! (Christy)

Pat, I really enjoyed watching your presentation. You have a great deal of primary sources for the children to explore. I love the song you incorporated over a few slides (as does my son - a big Thomas the Train fan). Funny thing, while I was waiting for slide 61, I was previewing my presentation, and your slide loaded during one of my videos. I thought my video was a screwy and was trying to figure why two songs were playing during the presentation... duh. Very cute video. Worth the wait :) Thanks, and nice job. (Jen)

Pat, You can see the time and effort that you have put forth for this project. I love the use of your primary sources. I wish I was in your class for projects like these. I love the fact that you have presented many local and national sources that peak the interest of anybody interested in railroads. Great video, worth the wait on slide 61! -Brett Livingston
