Honoring Two Significant Americans

This week we were all about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln! You can see from the title I am pulling in academic vocabulary whenever possible. While studying these two important presidents we completed a graphic organizer to keep track of their similarities and differences. Next the students created a Washington and Lincoln Venn diagram to present their findings. Later in the week the students worked collaboratively in writing groups. One student wrote about Washington, one student wrote about Lincoln, and one student wrote about what the two had in common. The following day the students helped each other edit and revise before writing final drafts. I would have to give this project two thumbs up! Tons of  meaningful learning!
