Old Salem




Our class traveled to Old Salem.  The students worked together to make apple fritters. Students also made a clay tile. The Moravians used clay tiles on their roofs. Additionally, students listened to a story about how flax seeds can become linen. Each student was given a dried flax plant to twist around their finger to expose the fibers used for linen.

What was your favorite part of Old Salem? Explain.

My favorite part was making clay
tiles.Because howwe made them my hands got dirty and we had to roll the wet clay and then cut off the top we had to wash our hands in a bucket with soap.The clay will take a week to dry.Making the clay tiles was very
interesting.

My favorite part about Old Salem was making the clay tiles. First, Sister Henderson gave us clay and we rolled it out with wooden rolling pins. Next, we cut the top off and used two wooden sticksand evened out the sides and top.Then, we made marks that looked like a pitchfork and on the back we scored it and it looked like a tic-tac-toe board. Then, we took the exess clay and made it into a cube. Last, we used the slip and pasted the cube on to the back. Making the clay tiles was my favorite part because we got to expirence what it was like to be a potter.
