5th grade centers
By Kelly

Clip to ScrapBook   
I take my themes and then build in the multiple intelligences. I'm a big constructivist type of teacher, so I don't have a traditional room.

For example:
Colonial:
1.) Write five journal entries from your novel
character's point of view that show the difficulties they had in settling into their colony.
2.) Draw a map of the 13 colonies (include geographic details). Attach index cards with information regarding who founded the colony, what they discovered, crops/food sources, and
natural resources.
3.)Dress as a person from your colony and present a colonial charter written
for colonists. Present to the class.
4.) Create a book of native plants, animals, and resources found in your colony. Explain their uses to the class. Bring in examples if possible.

etc.

These are up for the duration of the theme, with a minimum amount required to be completed.
