Our fourth grade students had to read Shiloh this summer. When discussing the book in their classroom, they discovered that it would be fun to compare rural environments to urban environments. The classes used Inspiration to compare and contrast the different environments. We are working on exporting our venn diagrams as jpgs and posting them to our blogs. Check back soon to read some of our blogs and what we learned. Here's an example of what we are working on.
Scholastic also has a fun character scrapbook! Make sure you check it out: http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/scrapbook/
