Final Pages: Social Studies


Read on for the Social Studies installation!


 This bulletin board was progressively filled with correlating information for the major themes per region: Geography, People, Civics, and Economics.
Color code: Blue = New England Colonies, Yellow = Middle Colonies, Red = Southern Colonies.

The bulletin board was designed to be interactive; students could flip the fact scrolls to review prior regions' info.




And The colonies were progressively labeled (students connected the label to the sketched location (cartographers and knit-pickers, please be kind to my approximation)!


 The final aspect to this bulletin board I really liked was the guiding question posed as a thought bubble: (especially useful for studying for the final test)!


Overall, the board was a visual organization of the design of the unit.  The progressive completion and reference to the board during lessons helped make connections from prior knowledge and from lesson to lesson.
