Students worked with partners to explore one of the following topics as it relates to cultural exchange: Italian emigration; colonization; imperialism; the Crusades; the Silk roads; the spread of Islam. They created a slideshow of their research. Before they presented to the class, each student was given a venn diagram and made connections between their topic and the topics of each of the other groups. Then, they were to incorporate these connections into their presentations.
We had a class discussion on the various ways cultures impact each other. I illustrated these ways using a house.
During this week's reading centers, students practiced using the various types of pronouns using online games. Also, they practiced finding the main idea in our guided reading group and practiced their weekly vocabulary.
Grade 6 divided into groups to discuss their findings for their PYP Exhibition central idea and gave suggestions on the direction their peers could go in their research.
