In ELA, Unit 5 is focusing on technology innovation. Students will be learning about advancements in technology to understand the value of innovation. Over the next 3 weeks at home, students are to research a famous inventor (they've already picked) to complete a report and present it at the end of the unit. Reports are due February 4th and presentation times will be forthcoming. Thanks in advance for all your help and support in our first home project. Here is what will be included in the report as well as the breakdown of the points. First, students should read and annotate the mini book. Then write a 2-3 sentence reflection on what they've learned. Students should read more than once to practice fluency and retain information they may have missed the first read. On this Circle Organizer students will write facts they've learned about their inventor. On this Square Organizer students will write facts they've learned about their inventor. On this page students will answer comprehension questions about their inventor. On this Comparison Organizer students research another inventor to compare and contrast to their inventor. Books on other inventors can be read during the school day on Epic. Or use the Inventor QR codes. FOR BONUS POINT!!! Use the QR codes to explore website and watch videos on your inventor or find your a kid friendly website to fill in the video sheet for bonus points. Use the report guide to help you with writing the report. For the presentation, your students will be creating a file folder representation of the report. Color the front cover or design your own. Write an acrostic poem using words that describe your inventor. Use your report guide to write an essay about your inventor. Then use pipe cleaners and other materials to create your inventor. If you have any other questions, please email. The whole project and presentations are Due Monday, February 4th.
