Elections

The third and fourth graders have been super busy creating campaign posters, and commercials for their candidates. They have been writing songs and printing pictures, completely dedicated to their candy candidates. One of my favorite things I have seen so far are these cute sour patch kids a group made as props for their commercial.
In order to earn a 3 (meets standard) students need to include 5 or 6 facts in their poster which will lead us to a lesson on fact vs opinion tomorrow.  We will also record their commercials which they have been working on for a few days.  Another thing I love about this unit is how easy its been to include many standards across the curriculum, and how students have been able to show they can meet the standard in creative ways like script writing or acting! However, I must mention that as much fun as this unit has been so far, we are all looking forward to the day we get to taste test the sweets :)
