Students can make a series of Trading cards that they can print out and laminate and then trade with other students. Some ideas for Trading cards are

• Characters from a book: Students will need to have a name, picture and brief description of character on the front of the trading card and on the back they provide more details about the character
• Timeline: This could be a historical timeline or a timeline of a person or character from a book. Students provide the date, picture and name of the event. On the back of the card they provide more details about the event and ultimately the consequences of the event.
• Inquiry: Students could choose particular parts of their inquiry and make these into trading cards
• Life Cycles: Students could create 4 - 6 stages of a life cycle of an animal or a bug with specific information about each part of the life cycle
