Payne's "Hear Ye, Hear Ye" project is a historical exploration of the Middle Ages. Young students choose from a list of topics pertaining to medieval life and research them in preparation for oral presentations. Other activities include compiling a medieval dictionary with illustrations, giving book reviews, creating an assortment of art objects relating to everyday life in the Middle Ages, and a Medieval Feast. The project improves student learning by teaching basic research skills at an early age and integrating core subjects with enrichment classes.
