Teacher Notes:
Over the years, I have seen my own children fall in love with collecting trading cards such as Pokemon. So I knew it would be fun for students to make their own trading cards about famous people in history. It’s also a great way to practice summarizing. And that is how this product came about.
For best results, print the cards on cardstock or premium brochure and flyer paper from Office Depot. The cards will last longer and be more sturdy. Remember to set the printer on the best quality setting. There are labels in this pack to glue on the front of the pockets or you can write the names using a sharpie, if desired. I hope your students love this project as much as mine do!
Suggestions for Use:
- Use this as a way to introduce AAPI Heritage Month
- Have students rotate to different stations around the classroom to read about several famous people.
- After reading the passages, they can answer the questions.
- Then they can complete the map activities: Map of Asia Scavenger Hunt and World Map Activity.
