Cooperation and Conflict in Jamestown Project--5th Grade Studies Weekly Week 13
By Colleen Burdette
Express a different point of view:
Students approach identifying and explaining the cooperation and conflict of the colonists and the indigenous people in Jamestown in a new way. They begin by presenting the thoughts and actions of the leaders of these two groups in thought bubbles. As an extension, the students evaluate what situations caused conflicts and speculate on how they may have handled the situations if they were present in Jamestown.
This approach requires students to be more creative than simply answering questions. Students can also research to find more in depth answers. This product is aligned with 5th grade Studies Weekly Week 13, American Foundations. However, this can be used as a stand alone assignment.
This product aligns with Indiana Social Studies standard 5.H.6.

(FR) ÉTUDES SOCIALES - LA BROCHURE TOURISTIQUE DES PROVINCES CANADIENNES
By French Made Fun!
Modifié fév. 2021!
Ce document de 30 pages contient tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour que vos élèves puissent effectuer des recherches indépendantes sur une province ou un territoire canadien. Créé pour être utilisé pour les élèves d'immersion française de 6e année à l'ÎPÉ, il comprend les éléments suivants:
Vos élèves rechercheront des éléments tels que des attractions, des symboles, des capitales, des populations, etc. et pourront ensuite utiliser la carte vierge de leur province / territoire pour dessiner / colorier ce que vous choisissez comme objectif: capitales, routes, élévation, etc. C'est à vous le choix!
Mes élèves ont aimé utiliser Canva pour leurs cartes postales / affiches; mais n'importe quel support fonctionne bien et un 'template' est donné pour un dépliant/pamphlet à plier.
Mes documents ont tous été créés pour des suppléants et remplaçants; donc ils sont faciles à utiliser, comprendre et effectuer.
Détendez-vous - j'ai celui-ci!
♡ Mme. Kaitlyn
By Mark Holmes
The project is divided into fourteen sections, including the front pages. Sections include Language/Population, Habitat/Geography, Family Structure, Government, and several others. Each section has a list of criteria and questions that must be answered to complete the section.
I would expect a single student to take about ten weeks, with a weekly goal (perhaps a little faster) of completing one section.
There is a score for each section and teacher info on ways to make it work.
The project contains a cover sheet, a teacher's page, two student pages and a sheet to help students select an appropriate civilization.
There is also a list of civilizations that have an abundance of information available on line.
Robert E. Lee Biography Writing Unit Digital & Print | 5th Grade & 6th Grade
By Creative Primary Literacy
This is a biography writing unit about the famous Confederate general during the American Civil War, Robert E. Lee. The unit has been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each. The Google Slides activity is ideal for distance learning and perfect for students in 5th grade or 6th grade learning about U.S. History and the American Civil War.
The first lesson is interactive and involves students reading facts, and then sorting and ordering these facts into paragraphs. In the second lesson the children need to use these facts to type four paragraphs. Then, in the third lesson they need to choose the most important facts and include these in an introduction; after this they need to answer several questions before typing up their conclusion. In the final lesson your class will need to check their draft paragraphs before typing up their work on to the template provided.
This activity is an online resource, that uses Google Slides, and is linked to your Google Drive. It can be completed by students online using tablets or computers. If you are unsure how to allow the students to have their own individual copy take a look at the instructional video below:
Google Classroom - How to make a copy for each student - Assignment
The resource also comes in a PDF format, which can be printed.
If you would like to add another online lesson, download my Robert E. Lee 5th Grade & 6th Grade Close Reading & Distance Learning Activity for just $1.50. This would give the students more background knowledge before they start writing the biography. It comes in Google Forms and PDF formats for distance learning, or for printing.
Please ensure when you download this resource into Google Drive that you are logged in to the gmail account where you wish to store the activity. In the past teachers have downloaded resources into their school account in error. Thanks :)
We also specialise in play scripts, we have a William Shakespeare collection with Richard III, Macbeth and Hamlet. We also have a good selection of Christmas play scripts including Elf, The Santa Clause and A Christmas Carol.

Debate: Should Mummies be Displayed in Museums? 6th Grade Studies Weekly Wk 6

This is an engaging activity and easy way to practice debate skills with a topic which doesn't generally cause high emotions in early teens. Students can learn to debate without emotions.
Easy prep for teachers as research sites are linked. The product also includes rubrics and follow up questions. Follow up questions increases rigor and helps students make connections.
