Geographic Thinking - Country Research & Parade Float
by mskp
Timeline: 1 Week to explain, model research and gather information, 1 week to design, create and present.
In a group of two, research, design, create and present a parade float of any country with your group. Your Float should be made out of a shoebox or other small box. Parade floats are beautiful and colorful, so be creative! Use tissue paper, construction paper, etc to cover all sides of your box. Models, pictures or figures can be added to add interest and creativity. Put your float together carefully. You must also include a small write up to go along with your float explaining your choices for the float. (One well explained reason for each element… Use the word because)

A time capsule will allow you to reflect back on what life was like in 2022. What was popular, historical events, your personal preferences and other important events/items in your life. The next date in history will be 11 years from now on 3/3/2033. How much will you have grown? In which ways will our society have changed?

Popits Multiplication & Hundred Chart
Are your students obsessed with the popit phenomenon? Make it a meaningful manipulative - turn it into a hundred chart on one side (great for multiples) and on the other side make it a multiplication table. We purchased 10x10 popits and the students used Sharpie to create their own manipulatives.
