Today is the disappearnce day anniversary of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society of Krishna Conscious.
This is Mr. R's small offering to him.
This project combined History, English, R.E., and I.C.T. Mr. R studied the life of a famous person in history, Srila Prabhupada. He learnt about the biography genre as we read though parts of "Prabhupada Lilamrita", we googled up images, and visited the Samadhi Museum where Mr. R took photos.
The process pretty much went from reading about a part of Srila Prabhupada's life to brainstorming what we learnt together on a whiteboard and then writing it down on paper. When the writing was finished we would would search on the Internet for an image to support what was written. Sometimes we would also watch parts of Abbhay Charan together.
Here are some samples from his workbook:

| First we focused on what we already knew about Prabhuapda |

| A word cloze taken from Mr.R's brainstorm that was recorded on the whiteboard. |
At some point we went to visit the Samadhi Museum where Mr. R took photos. I asked him what he would like to do with the photos and he said "make a movie". I felt slightly overwhelmed with his suggestion, but tried my best to make it happen. We got Movie Maker installed and together managed to create something small and simple.
