Social Studies: We will work on the Unit Project for Unit 5. The project for this unit is to make a family history storyboard. This will be done at school with information for the project needing to come from home. Each student will generate a set of questions about your family and each student will need to bring the completed questions back to school on Wednesday. We will take several weeks working with using the answers to the questions to complete a story board about your family. Please purchase one sheet of poster board (approx.22”x28”—any color) and cut it into three equal sized sheets. A picture of a sample story board is on page 264 of the student edition. Let me know if you have questions—again---the majority of the work will be done here at school. Thank you.
