At Home Social Studies Project

Colonial America Project

In Social Studies, we are beginning to learn about the 13 original colonies and life in the newly formed regions.  We will continue to study life in the colonies until December 11.  Visit virtual Colonial America to start learning. 

As we learn about what and who influenced the settlers, who and where colonies were founded, resources, jobs and education in the early 1600 and 1700's, and early colonial government, students will be gathering valuable information to create a project.

Please review the project handout that your student was given on Monday, October 26.  Note:  Projects are due THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19.

In Class Social Studies Project

The students were given their first big project today!  All work on this project will be done in class this week.  Students were very excited to begin using their iPads for project based learning so you might see them working on their European Explorer project at home or in their free time. Most of the research has been completed and students will begin creating a presentation.  They may choose Book Creator, iMovie, Popplet, Glogster, Kahoot, Keynote, or Noteability.  For students who are wanting to be SUPER creative, have them check out PowToon, Present.me and Prezi.com.  For students who are still feeling a little uneasy about their iPad, they may choose to create a small 11x17 poster (I will provide the poster paper in class).  Projects are due and presentations will begin on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9th.
