KR did Glogster with 3rd grade (Boulevard teachers asked so it could be used with animal reports), 4th graders too. Primary sources : BO did staff development where everyone brought artifact that represented heritage/culture. Teachers lined up in 2 rows and explained to a partner what it meant to you (timer to change partners) LO does a Me Museum (5 artifacts, plus...) Use activity like this to introduce primary sources.

Set up tables for topics (stack of books on table by topic--natural disasters, genres), have kids do post it notes with 1 concept they didn't know or identify characteristics. Set buzzer to have them move from table to table.
