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.


What's included:

  • Student instruction handout.
  • Three versions of thought bubble worksheets.
  • Further thinking questions.

How is this product useful:

  • Creative approach.
  • Encourages students to find a new point of view.
  • Research opportunity.
  • Inspires deeper level thinking.

Texas History Battle at the Alamo Research Project to Create a Historical Marker

By Curious Classroom Adventures

After studying the Alamo and the famous Texans associated with the battle at the Alamo, let your students practice their research skills and show off their creativity at the same time.

Before starting: Visit your public library and collect several juvenile non-fiction books about the Alamo and look at pictures of various historical marker sites discussing different ways that people and places were honored there.

To begin the project assign or have students randomly draw the name of a historical figure associated with the Alamo. Give students time to research and collect information for their project. The research about their person should include basic biographical information, life before the Alamo, and their significance at the Alamo. After collecting information, students should write a rough draft of the text for their historical marker and work with a peer to edit. The final copy should be completed in the shape of a historical marker plaque.

Finally, let students create some type of memorial to accompany the plaque. This could be a statue, a monument, an info board, a grave stone, a model of a building, etc. They can be limited only by their own imagination. Allow students to present their projects and invite parents to enjoy the fun as well!

HALLOWEEN | HISTORY/HISTOIRE | ORIGINS/ORIGINES | COMPREHENSION LECTURE (FRENCH)

By French Made Fun!

Fuel middle schoolers' curiosity with our French Halloween history resource! Explore traditions and origins through a reading comprehension, short answer, and research tasks. Perfect for a substitute teacher, fostering independent learning during a hectic time of year.


Looking to do something a little different with your Middle-schoolers this Halloween? This independent reading, writing and researching unit will have your students better understanding Halloween's origins, traditions and cultural rites and customs. This is an ideal unit if you're not looking to do anything cross-curricular and are a language arts teacher. It's quiet and reflexive with a final presentation showcasing their discovery. It would be amazing to leave with a sub!

It is a printable document on 8.5" x 11" paper.

Reflection, reading and assessment activities are not time-consuming; however, I give my students 2-3 classes to research, and plan for 2 days of presentations. This could very well cover you for Hallo-week .

Here's what you'll find included in this resource that's carefully curated for your middle school French learners.

  • "Réflexion" - 3 separate reflection prompts which can be used as a small writing assessment. These reflections foster higher-level thinking and will have your students thinking about culture, inclusivity, and Halloween's historical changes that have occurred through time.
  • "Halloween - une recherche autour du monde!" - A mini research activity that will have your students delving into how Halloween is celebrated around the world, comparing it to their own culture and beliefs. Included in this research description is a presentation opportunity and success criteria are also included.
  • "Les origines historiques et l'importance culturelle d'Halloween" - A short reading comprehension piece which has questions to verify understanding.
  • "Testez vos connaissances" - A short two-page assessment on general Halloween history.

If you're looking into trying our a project- and inquiry-based approach in your classroom, I recommend trying any of the following resources:

  • Un avenir durable (imports, exports and energy - A sustainable future.)
  • Dragon's Den - Dans l'oeil du dragon! (Lead a Dragon's den in your classroom!)
  • Mon espèce en voie de disparition (An artsy approach to endangered species)
  • Space Food! (Space travel & nutrition)

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!

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.
