5th Grade Branches of Government

Fifth grade students at Chamberlayne Elementary have been studying the branches of government (VS.10a) and they wanted to make a 3-panel brochure in Pages to summarize what they have learned. So the students used the Template Chooser in Pages to select a brochure template they liked. They labeled the 3 columns Legislative, Executive, and Judicial and changed the fonts and colors. Next I gave them a folder of pictures to use that you can download by clicking here.It has pictures representing each of the three branches of government for the federal and state levels. They dragged a picture from the folder to each column. Then they typed facts about each branch of government as a bulleted list under each picture. I showed them how to use the Inspector to change the style of the bullets as well. If you’d like to see a sample just click the picture to make it larger.
