"The Thanksgiving Story" mini-book
This is a mini-book written by C & C Teach First that tells the story of the first Thanksgiving:
The pilgrims took a trip
across the big blue sea.
Riding on the Mayflower
America they did see.
The winter was so cold.
Then spring time warmed them up.
They listened as Squanto told
how to plant corn, fish, and hunt.
And when the crops were gathered
a Thanksgiving party did begin
with Pilgrims and Indians
giving thanks for all brought in!

Primary Source Analysis
One of the best ways to learn about ancient civilizations is through the artifacts and writings of people from that particular period of time.

For instance, you can have students read accounts of the destruction of Pompeii and discuss it as a class.
Centers & Stations
Through the use of centers, students can collaborate and discuss topics and content they examine for each era in history. For example, you can have students navigate through four or five different centers or stations to help them learn about different aspects of Ancient Chinese culture, like literature, geography, government, and major historical events or achievements.
By making ancient history come to life through a variety of interactive and immersive activities, teachers can help students develop a deeper appreciation for the subject.
