Deacde Posters





The kids did a GREAT job on their decade posters. We hung them up around the room, then the students were given copies of the quizzes each group made and they had to move around to the posters to find the answers. It went really well and the kids had fun checking out everyone's posters.

Research Project

For the past week the kids have been researching a decade of their choice. They were required to find information from the 50-90's in four categories; people, events, entertainment/fun and inventions. Each student was required to individual research for their decade. This research was due Monday. The students were given 20 points for having their research done, they will also be graded on this research later this week.

This week we have been working on the group project.
1. A poster with 10 pictures and 10 facts about the decade
2. A quiz with 10 questions about the poster and an answer key.

These projects are due at the end of the hour tomorrow.

The plan is that I will hang the posters around the room and the kids will take the quizzes by finding the information on the posters.
