I know, I know….it’s barely Halloween and I’m talking about a December holiday already! I am taking a class right now and I put this unit together as my final project. It includes pre-reading, during reading, and post reading activities, templates for the projects, links to assist students, software tutorials, rubrics, and examples of student work. There is also a link to the full text of the novel. So, if anyone is teaching A Christmas Carol and could use a couple of ideas for activities, feel free to use anything I have here!

A Christmas Carol

I’ve posted an online project for 5th grade science to the web. The students will complete a Publisher travel brochure for ocean habitats using the template they download from this page. (more…)

I’ve posted an online project for 3rd grade to the web. The students will write a newspaper article (the prompt given is related to Simple Machines) and then generate an image of their article that looks like a newspaper clipping. (Please thank Mrs. Williams for the prompt!)

Here is the link.

I’ve posted an online project/assignment for 5th grade geography. The students will complete a Power Point on the regions of North America using a template they download from this page. Links are provided to assist students in completing this activity and brief tutorials for using Power Point 2007 are also provided.

I’ve posted an online project for 4th grade geography. The students will complete a PowerPpoint on Virginia (regions and rivers) by using a template they download from this page. Links are provided to assist students in completing this activity and brief tutorials in using Power Point 2007 are also provided.

I posted a mini-review of continents, oceans, and some geography vocabulary (e.g. latitude, longitude, equator, prime meridian, compass rose, etc.), to the web. The review consists of multiple screens (the navigation icons are at the top of each screen) - some of the screens are strictly informational, and others are multiple choice assessment screens. The review course includes images and sound and is best viewed with a screen resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels. Here is the link:
