About This Lesson
This is a great project to do at the end of the year with 5th graders. It requires them to choose a topic, research it, integrate ideas from multiple sources (including videos, interviews, and trips), and create a well-formatted feature article. Students then choose a mode of presentation (powerpoint, posterboard, or video) to present their learning to an audience. I adapted this plan from a unit by Ben Kovacs at Burley.
