I recently learned that 3rd grade students were studying famous African Americans for February for Black History Month. I planned a lesson that included a study of biographies and their text features, encyclopedias (they were much faster due to a nasty computer bug on our network), and culminated in a final digital product. The students were super excited to get to create "Fakebook" pages on classtools.net I included research elements from the Super3 to get my younger students ready for more complex research using the Big6 (in a couple of years). To help them out (and save time), I pulled biographies ahead of time. I also gave them a prepared note collection sheet with spaces to collect the info they needed to make their pages. This page included a rubric as well. See the resources below if you might be interested in doing a similar project with your class and for sample pages! ClassTools.Net My Sample Page- I used this to show students and get them excited about what they would be creating. A Student Work Sample My note page.... I plan to edit this page next time so that the "Year" says "date". A full date makes the FB page look more realistic. I should have included a place for "parents" as well for them to add as "friends" on the FB page.
