Description
***BUNDLE & SAVE 30%!*** Easily incorporate THEMATICALLY RIGOROUS LEARNING AND FUN into your classroom routine with this no-prep, print-and-go, 193-page/slide Around the World Research Project & Theme Day BUNDLE for Middle Grades (Grades 4-8) Unit. Use this thematic project and celebratory days to celebrate diversity, and culture, while students practice research, writing, technology, presentation, speaking, listening, STEM, art, and teamwork skills!
Students will complete an in-depth Research Project about a country of their choice. They will research the land, people, a current event, and compare/contrast their own traditions to that country using a variety of provided internet sources. They will use the information to complete an outline. The students will use the outline to create a research paper which will be taken through the writing process. They will then create a PowerPoint or Google Slide presentation correlating with their research.
Finally, end your Around the World Unit with a celebratory Around the World Day! Students will learn about countries around the world through research, writing, art, STEM, team-building, games, and word work. Your students will be engaged and learning all while having fun! Everything you need to make this party happen is included (see below for a full list of what’s included). This would make a GREAT end-of-the-year, last week of school, camp theme, Earth Day, or International Day Celebration!
