George Washington Digital Research Project

Your students will enjoy reading and researching about George Washington. I recommend reading or having several pictures books for students to choose from- although this is not necessary. Students can use the included links for summaries and research.

In this activity your students will read online web information, summarize it. Then they will sequence the history of George Washington as well as write facts to create a poster and write a biography. This activity is wonderful for the 21st century classroom as your students will be excited and engaged as they practice identifying nonfiction facts and sequence key details in text. This paperless activity is formatted so that your students have everything they will need in one place.

I primarily created and use this as an elementary 4-5 grade gifted and talented /high achievers enrichment activity - for when students finish his/her work. It also works well with general ed.

I use this to help my students with Virginia SOLs VS 5b and VS 6a , VS 1d , VS 1j
