This lesson looks neat - you hang the ten amendments around the room - pull situations from a box and have the students determine which amendment would protect that right.
Here's a neat lesson idea - Economics and Personal Finance Resource. Students apply the skill of fact and opinion to looking at advertisements. Students use their skills to determine whether the advertisements are fact or opinion.
Wonder what it would take to set this up - since our last lesson included e-mail. Could they e-mail each other through their google accounts and write to the person about what they learned....
Great lessons on story elements including a picture book, resources, and guided notes for each element. There is also a link on here to an online story mapping activities that can have info added by students and then printed out.
I've done this in years past and it's powerful. In third grade, I got some tears when we damaged the dolls so I stopped doing it! I will do it again this year and tie it into my anti-bullying talks. I have some paper cut-out dolls that the students can trace - you are welcome to borrow.
