I posted a site to the web with projects for 5th grade social studies standards covered during the 2nd 9 weeks (USI.5a-d through USI.6a-d). Some of the projects are not strictly computer based and students will need colored pencils, paper, and index cards for those projects (timelines, character trading cards, and victory posters).

Here is the link:

US History Projects  

The link is also on my portal under 5th Grade>Social Studies - the link is called:  US History Projects - Colonization through Revolution.
