5th Grade Colony Persuasive Advertisements - A Universal Design for Learning Project!

After learning about the New England, Middle and Southern Colonies, including the geography, climate, economy, religion, and education of each region, the students created advertisements motivating the English to colonize in America. 

But which region would they choose? 

See how our fifth graders persuading people to come colonize in their region! Students used a variety of Canva design ideas, wrote and produced commercials, hand drew their ads, and even created Tik Toks (templates only)! They dressed up, collaborated, helped others and presented some very convincing arguments to come to their colony!

Welcome to the New World Explorers!

 As part of their social studies unit on explorers, fourth graders made these creative news videos!  They wrote scripts with clever lines for the interviewers and the explorers.  Then they learned how to film each other, and finally, came up with spectacular ideas to make their interview one of a kind! Each group also chose their background and some helped with editing! So impressed with their work from start to finish!

Writers, Actors, and Producers - Incredible!
