This week we are going to try and do something a little different. Instead of assignments in a number of different subjects, I am going to assign a culminating project. You are going to create a brochure to advertise Grade 4/5 at Banbury Heights School.
With these brochures you are going to need a blank piece of white paper. Then fold your paper like a hotdog and fold it into three different quadrants. Like the above example. For each quadrant number them one-six. Make sure that one is your title page. Your whole brochure should be creative, neat and coloured. Have some fun with these!
1. Welcome to Mrs. Corpse’s Class – Use interesting fonts and colours to gab the attention of your reader and make them want to look at the brochure.
2. Math – Come up with a word problem from any strand of math we have worked on this year. Make it a question that someone coming into Grade 4 or 5 would need to know.
3. Science / Social Studies – This panel should be about the activities we did in Science or Social Studies (add pictures or diagrams)
4. About Mrs. Corpse: Tell the students coming into the class that don’t know me what to expect!
5. Top Five Things About Grade 4/5: Explain the 5 things you liked most about this year
6. Tips: Give 3 or more tips you would give to someone coming into grade 4/5 so they will be as successful as they can.
You can create this on the computer, or you can draw it out. If you have a different way you want to display the information that is OK too. I want you to take your time and have fun with it. I am very excited to see what you come up with.
Additional Math Challenge:
If you are looking for something else to do, I want you to try and complete this challenge. See if you can complete the multiplication chart below in under 5 minutes with no calculator. Do it as many times as you can to see how fast you can complete it. Send me your lowest score.
