Additional options for use:

- Assign to collaborative groups to work on together.

- Use in lieu of traditional research reports, homework, or formative assessments.

- Use the grid activities as a process grid with your ELLs for concept and language development.

- For in-person, creating paper packets by chapter or unit is a really nice way to keep social studies assignments organized (it's a game changer!) AND students get to see all of their amazing work in a consolidated way! Another benefit is that completed packets can be saved for Open House or parent conferences. I create a cover page (which students can decorate), then add each of the assignments I'd like my students to work on for a given chapter or unit, and staple them into one packet. Hint: Keep a master copy of the packets. By doing this, you'll have social studies all planned out for the following years!
