Pick one of the following activities to complete: Activity 1: each activity with be given 20 minutes Activity 2: Be creative and show me what you learned about North Carolina. Choose one of your favorite facts about North Carolina. Draw a picture representing this fact and write several sentences describing how you think that this fact has affected North Carolina. How would NC be different without this fact or event? Use the graphic organizer to write in words that are related to North Carolina. Then use each word in a sentence to describe North Carolina (it’s people, events, and geography) in your own words.

Teacher Pages Activity 1: Rationale- By participating in this activity students will be able to take something that they learned and found interesting and actually create a product that means something to them. Drawing gives the students another option to express what they have learned. This activity will also allow them to reflect on what they have learned and consider how it has impacted the world outside of themselves. Integrated subjects: Social Studies, Art, and Language Arts. NCSCOS Objectives: Art- 5.01 Identify main purpose for an individual artwork. Social Studies- 4.01 Analyze the effects of change in communities and predict future changes. Language Arts- 2.06 Recall main idea, facts and details from a text. Activity Sequence/Details: Students will choose one of their favorite facts that they learned about North Carolina. They will then draw a picture representing this fact and will write several sentences describing how they think that this fact has affected North Carolina. How would NC be different without this fact or event taking place? The paper for them to draw and write on will be pre-made with a box to draw in and lines to write their sentences on. The activity will take about 20 minutes. Modifications: I will emphasize to students that they do not have to read everything on the website pages throughout the topic page. For those students who have a hard time writing I will make sure that they work more on their drawing than on their sentences- letting their drawing represent the fact that they found most interesting. According to the disability, students will get to talk orally with peers and teacher about their favorite fact and how that fact has impacted North Carolina. Assessment: As students are working on their activity I will walk around and observe the process that they are going through to complete the task. I will talk with students about what they are doing and sort of get a feel behind their thought process. I will also review the student’s product after they hand them in and if I feel that they did not put forth effort I will conference with the child and see what went wrong.

Integrated Subjects: Language Arts, Social Studies Activity 2: Rationale- Students will be able to translate what they have learned about North Carolina in their own words. The graphic organizer is something that they can always go back to and look at to remember important things about their state. It is always important to get the students to write in their own words. Through this process they are reflecting and showing that their learning goes beyond reading and reciting. Integrated Subjects: Language Arts, Social Studies NCSCOS Objectives: Language Arts-2.06 Recall main idea, facts and details from a text. Social Studies- 5.06 Identify and describe the people, vegetation, and animal life specific to certain regions and describe their interdependence. Activity Sequence/Details: Students will use the graphic organizer print-out to write in words that are related to North Carolina. They will then use each word in a sentence to describe North Carolina (it’s people, events, and geography) in their own words. They can write the sentences on the back of the graphic organizers where there will be pre-written lines. The activity will take about 20 minutes. Modifications: If students have a hard time writing I will let students draw in the graphic organizer- their drawings can represent things that describe NC. I will also let students talk with one another about what they want to write in their sentences. If they have a disability, depending on what it is- the students may talk with me and their peers orally about what they have learned about NC and express the words they would like to use in their graphic organizer. Assessment: As students are working on their activity I will walk around and observe the process that they are going through to complete the task. I will talk with students about what they are doing and sort of get a feel behind their thought process. I will also review the student’s product after they hand them in and if I feel that they did not put forth effort I will conference with the child and see what went wrong.
