This sounds like an amazing lesson! I'm quite impressed! While I'm sure I could incorporate something like this into my Language Arts class, it's hard for me to stop the flow of a unit or lesson, do something else, and then come back to the original lesson. Maybe some day....Becky Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137408537369933534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-70418971410916345872015-10-13T10:16:59.349-05:002015-10-13T10:16:59.349-05:00What an awesome lesson.

Up there, we actually have a statue of Columbus in my hometown and the biggest parade of the year every Columbus Day, and down here every has school and no one even acknowledges it's a holiday haha.

This is higher level thinking strategies at its finest. This is exactly what kids should be doing. In school. I just pray our elementary school is doing things like this so they are ready when they get to me. You can tell the difference in the kids that have experience with it and those that don't.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368440083007386093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-66829531441231094062015-10-12T14:39:13.964-05:002015-10-12T14:39:13.964-05:00I love this assignment and how engaged they are wi...I love this assignment and how engaged they are with it.
