Social Studies: Unit Four Project Requirements:
The children have chosen their historical person. For the project you’ll need to make use of our textbook, easy-to-read-biographies, online sources for research, lined writing paper, pencils, crayons, and construction paper. (I’ll have construction paper available—have your child tell me what color.)
The information I’d like for your child to find out is:
Why the person is remembered, what life was like during the person’s lifetime, and any interesting facts about the person’s life.
The research will be used to write a journal entry that focuses on a single day in the person’s life. Try to choose an important day and then write about how the day might have gone based on the research done. Make sure the entry has a date, important information is included, and a sketch of the person or an event is on the page. Glue the page to the construction paper. Make sure the student’s name is at the bottom. We will put all of the entries together in chronological order to make a class book. Project is due February 5th.
