In Social
Studies class, during my student teaching, I developed a unit on the first
thirteen colonies that came to the New World. The last couple of weeks of the
unit I worked with students on a pop-up book project about the colonies.
Students got to choose a colony and write about the different aspects of live
the settlers experienced when they first came to America. The last page/room in
the book they wrote interesting facts and showed pictures of the state
nowadays. The students loved it! They researched the history of the colony and
got to use their imagination while recreating life back then in their drawings.
