Look familar? In this printmaking project we were asked to draw a possible South Dakota scenery, that a train might pass as it crosses the state. This picture is very simular to my family farm with the big red main barn and its neighboring pig barn. It was a wind mill and hay bails to pull it all together. On the oposite side of the tracks is a small pond surrounded by marshy grasses and a fence with a little no tresspassing sign. My train carts are filled with corn and coal.
I think I would do this activity but I think I would talk about how the railroads where America's first form of transportation that connected the nation as a whole. I would further intergrade this topic into History and Language Arts. I would have my class do some research and write a paper on the railroad system.
