1 About This Book Assigning and evaluating student projects just got easier! Your friends at The Mailbox magazine have compiled this handy resource of student project ideas to help students apply important concepts covered in grades 4 6. On these pages, you ll find easy-to-manage, fun-to-do projects that help students apply what they ve learned. The book is divided into four curriculum sections: language arts, math, science, and social studies. In each section, you ll find a collection of individual, partner, and group projects that target a variety of learning styles. Each easy-to-manage project includes step-by-step instructions to help your students successfully research, organize, complete, and present the project. Plus you ll find a handy evaluation form that outlines the project s criteria, the possible point value earned by meeting each guideline, and space for both the teacher and the student to evaluate the finished project. Projects With Pizzazz includes ideas for 39 student projects. Each project is divided into the following four pages: Teacher Information Page: On this colorful page, you ll find a materials list and simple steps for introducing the project. Also included is a list of goals students will meet by completing the project, a resource list of children s books related to the project s topic, and a creative idea on how students can share the project with others. To help the teacher meet the needs of her diverse classroom, this page also features suggestions for how to increase or lower the difficulty level of the project. Reproducible Student Checklist: This ready-to-use reproducible provides each student with easy-to-understand instructions on how to complete the project. The reproducible also includes a materials list, a reminder about the due date, and a special box of I Think I m Finished questions to help the student determine whether he has met the project s criteria. Project Reproducible: This page features a second reproducible, such as a helpful pattern or form, that will help the student complete the project. Reproducible Evaluation: The last page of the project features a ready-to-use reproducible rubric for assessing the project. On the form, you ll find a list of criteria to use to evaluate the project, along with space for teacher and student comments.

In advance, write a brief story about an important event in your life. Then read the story aloud to the class. (As an alternative, read aloud a portion of one of the autobiographies for children listed below.) 2. Ask students to identify characteristics of the story. Then explain that the story is a personal narrative. A personal narrative tells about an event in the author s life. It may also include the author s feelings and opinions about the event. Ask students to share about personal narratives they have read. 3. Explain to the class that each student will write a personal narrative to feature in a class big book titled Days of Our Lives. 4. Distribute copies of pages 5 and 6. Go over these pages with students. Assign a due date for each student to write in the blank on page Distribute copies of page 7. Discuss the evaluation with students to make sure they understand how their projects will be evaluated. 6. Share with students any resources you have gathered to help them with the project (see the list). Helpful resources: Ask your librarian to help you assist students in selecting appropriate nonfiction books to read, such as the following: Homesick: My Own Story by Jean Fritz Knots in My Yo-Yo String: The Autobiography of a Kid by Jerry Spinelli The Land I Lost: Adventures of a Boy in Vietnam by Huynh Quang Nhuong by Dayna Williams When we tied with only two minutes left, I knew we had a chance to win it all! Presentation Pointer Label a sheet of poster board with the title Days of Our Lives. Ask each student to autograph this title sheet. After each student shares his story and page with the class, punch three holes in the top of each page. Use metal rings to bind the pages in alphabetical order behind the title sheet to make a class big book. 36 To Adapt the Project Challenge students to rewrite their narratives in picture-book format, complete with illustrations and book jackets. Allow students to write personal narrative paragraphs rather than multiparagraph stories.
