Students were very excited to choose their tribes yesterday. Below I have included the document explaining the AT HOME dwelling project. It is due on February 23rd, when students will be presenting it to the class. Also due February 23rd is their IN-CLASS research presentation. We willing working on and completing this presentation together in class. Below I have included the rubric for it. If you would like to check in on this presentation from home, you are welcome to view it on their google docs account. Thank you so much for your support with this. The students are learning so much history!! They are also very engaged and excited to learn about their tribes. I am excited to start the new year off with this great group of kids.
For the next several weeks both 4th and 5th grade will be studying the regions of North America. Our main focus will be on the Native Americans who settled in North America prior to the arrival of the English settlers. Students are very excited and so far very engaged in our lessons. We will study each region of North America and the people who settled in them. We will finish off the unit with a research project on a tribe of the students choice from one of the regions studied. Students will be asked to present the information to the class, as well as give a short speech about what they learned. I will also be asking them to recreate a dwelling replica of the tribe they chose. This replica will be an at home project. More details to come on this in a couple of weeks. I am very excited to see what students come up with! |
