Fifth Grade

World Explorers Project Resources

In collaboration with the 5th grade Social Studies program, students carried out the entire research process on a famous world explorer. Over several Media class periods, with teacher support, students used web sites and databases, (i.e. Biographies.com, World Book Online Encyclopedia) to gather information that answered a set of research questions. Students recognized the appropriate information through the application of keywords, recorded the information accurately by taking notes and created a resource bibliography.  Finally, each student created an infographic on Discovery Education to incorporate the factual information gathered with appropriate graphics.
