Great project. I modified it by having students research different geographical regions and had them create a poster on www.Glogster.org It was awesome! They imported videos and went way over the top! Thanks!

I love the detail that this project requires. I also like the rubric.
I do with that it would have been uploaded as a word document instead of a PDF so that changes could be made.
Thanks!

I will use parts of this unit, but I wish it had included some kind of scope and sequence ideas and a bit more input for implementation from the teacher who created it.

I was super excited to find this project and then when I sat and read it all I could think was how much my kids would love it. I ordered the book, it arrived and I was ready to go. Then I worried. I have a huge Muslim population, and they don't enjoy talking casually about death. The book seemed like it would be too much for them to handle. I was really excited to do it - and I will use this... if I'm ever teaching a different population.

Super fun lesson idea! The kids and I are so excited to get started on it. Do you happen to have the templates or anything for the tombstone and the coffin that you mention in the lesson?

Hi! I'm originally from Plain City, Ohio. Go Bucks! This would be a good summative activity.

I love your lesson--and the book it is based on. My 5th graders are having a great time. Do you happen to have a template for the tombstone and the coffin you mention in the lesson? I would happily pay for them. Thank you!

Janelle Wren re: Create your own civilization based off of 'Weslandia'
Hi Travel Chick! I am going to teach a Weslandia civilization unit but I teach 4th grade--I saw that this says it is for 5th grade and above but I noticed that you said you teach a 4/5 split so I was wondering if you have materials for this that you have adapted for this age group? Any further details you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help!

I have used this with 6th graders. I think that the plan is laid out step by step so that any grade of students could complete it. Depending on your level of students, you might want to delete parts that don't seem relevant to your curriculum. I am positive that the students will have fun with this activity! Let me know how it comes out!

I saw your store on the home page of TeachersPayTeachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Just one suggestion, make a direction page that explains in detail what the student is to do. Never assume that a buyer will understand how to use your product.
