I use http://www.kidsgoglobal.net/ as a “pre-search” activity to connect the students to a topic and fill in gaps in background knowledge.

I also have a resource list of picture books we use (attached)

>From there we use NewsELA articles, Scholastic Go, and Explora through www.researchitct.org<http://www.researchitct.org>

These provide age appropriate materials for some pretty heavy topics.

Hi All!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I was thinking of having my fifth graders choose a topic of research within the area of social issues, does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for resources to discuss this genre with them at this level?

Thanks in advance!
