4th Grade New Nation Comic
SOL VS.6 may be a little dry and difficult to teach, so why not spice it up with a cool project like the fourth grade teachers at Holladay did. They asked me to give them some pictures and a Comic Life template to use, and then they taught their students how to make the comics on their own. That made topics like the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the Constitution a lot more interesting. If you’d like to download the template and pictures click here. To see a finished sample of the “New Nation Comic” click here. And don’t forget about the Constitution website I mentioned in this post for Constitution Day. Finally, if you are looking for a way to show your students the Cumberland Gap (VS.6c), the Virginia Trekkers filmed Podcast #19 there. We’ll take you right through the main passageway that the early settlers used to migrate west!
