My new city puts on these free outdoor concerts. Last Friday my friend and I went to hear Humming House, a band I’d never heard of.
They. Were. Amazing.
Just listen to them sing Billie Jean.
They were so good that I bought a CD that night and came home and immediately bought their other albums on iTunes. Wow!
In between all the fun I’ve had I worked a little on a new project.
Do you have your students research different countries? When I taught 6th grade social studies, I had my students choose a country and research it. They then had to use their research and create a poster on it. Some of their projects were not the neatest, so I had the idea of creating these posters.
I wanted to create something that was student-friendly, making it super easy for students to figure out what to specifically research. Many times if you have students research something they have NO idea where to start. This resource gives them a really good place to start.
They fit in a lot of information within these two papers! And what’s great is that they look perfect on a big 12×18 piece of construction paper and displayed on a bulletin board or in the hallway!
I also have the same research projects for states. Check them out HERE.

Like the idea and content for the research report. Can I get a copy of the templates?
