Grade 5-6 unit on Where the wild things are! Damn i loved this movie

"Isn't it great when students write and read because they love to? Or, when a child or young adult values his or her library card as much as the latest electronic game? At Pine Tree Poetry, we believe fine writing nourishes everyone's soul. It exercises brains with creative thinking and adds a palette of words and colors to life. We've created Pine Tree Poetry to interlace students, their peers, parents, teachers and school librarians in a quest for poetry writing excellence. Rarely do students earn kudos or trophies for their writing, but at Pine Tree Poetry, we are dedicated to rewarding the fine writing achievements of students who are 5 - 18."

A place for students to publish poetry (and possibly win prizes!)

This is the heart of Teachit Primary - an ever-growing collection of practical, tried and tested lesson plans and resources created by teachers for teachers. Access to the vast majority of them is free once you have registered - you can browse, search, download and print resources whenever you like. But it's only as a member that you get to use them properly - because then you can tweak, adapt, edit and get whizzy. Never again will you need to reinvent the wheel.

Make 2D screen based cartoon stories to illustrate conversations and dialogues. Stories can include an unlimited number of frames and are view frame by frame. Each frame can include: * Images: Drag and drop library items onto the frame, or import your own digital photos or images saved from the web. * Text bubbles: Select from a range text bubbles and information boxes. Drag and drop onto the frame and start typing! Text can be in any language and any script. * Voice recordings: Add new voice recordings using the simple built in recording panel. You can also add recordings already saved on your computer. Stories are saved on your computer as HTML page (webpages), and can easily viewed by others on any computer using a web browser such as Internet Explorer. Stories can also be printed. Completed stories can also be loaded back into the Cartoon Story Maker and edited or added to. Very cool

This is a list of books which I hope will be a useful resource for teachers and librarians for the Primary Years Programme of Inquiry of the International Baccalaureate. I have tried to choose books which do not have a narrow focus but which are trans-disciplinary in concept. Please contact me if you would like recommendations for books on specific subject areas, and at a particular age level. The list will gradually be added to and improved as I have time to add to it and as I get more feedback from teachers and librarians. I have divided the list into the six organizing themes (though I realise that there can be considerable overlap between various themes) and have made up separate lists for fiction and non-fiction titles. I have given an indication of reading levels to each of the titles. Titles newly included in this updated list are marked *

Quite a nice interactive graphic that takes kids through a research cycle/s
