A fun and multi-disciplinary short-term project (1 week) where students must act as the Advertising Firm who is trying to land "Apple". Students are given sales statistics and then make decisions about WHAT to market, WHY they should market it, and HOW they would market the products. The project culminates with students "pitching" to the "Board of Directors". Fun and includes math, langauge, and art.

A VERY open-ended research-based project that has students researching anything they are passionate about, and choosing to present it in whatever way they think communicates their message. A good "September" project as it lets you get to know your students, gauge where their research skills are, and keeps them engaged as they get to work on a topic THEY have selected. Product includes RAN chart (and exemplar RAN chart filled out) and exemplar Research Notes.

A reading and writing assignment designed for grades 4-8. Sort of a modern Book Report. Students select a book, write a 3 paragraph review, then embed their writing in a qr code. Teacher can print off the qr code and attach it in the library book that the student reviewed. Future readers have access to a locally developed Book Review. Includes rubric.

Rather than the traditional Book Report, have students create a book report website using Google Sites or www.wix.com, or any other site-creation tool available to you in your district.

After learningabout angle relationships (supplementary, complimentary, adjacent, etc.), this is a neat way to consolidate the learning. Students draw a map using the directions given, and then they would compare it to a master map.

8 slides that go over the four levels of higher order thinking. Students will be able to discuss the difference between memorization, paraphrasing, original ideas, and compare/contrast. A good lesson to go over with students at the beginning of the year.
