Questions of the Week : A great "What do I do now?" activity
Here's a collection of 40 different "imponderables".
Most of them have real answers, although most people don't really know WHY until they research them!
For example: "Why is there no mouse-flavored cat food?"
I plan on having these available (1 per week) for students to figure out. They'll earn some "money" for our classroom economy by doing some writing to convince me that their answer is correct.
Just something fun....

This is a very powerful, intense, thought-provoking article about the history of the Tainos and their interaction with Columbus. It is a 4-page article and it includes a gate annotation guide to go with it. Recommended for older grades, I use this with 8th graders. If you use it with younger grades the vocabulary and details would have to be modified. I focus on the strength and legacy of the Taino people over the horrible actions of Columbus.
