If You Lived with the Iroquois ELA/SS Centers for Upper Elementary

I created these centers to use with the book If You Lived with the Iroquois by Ellen Levine to get my kids up and moving while they learn. In order to use these centers, you will need to have at least one copy of the book, but a class set is ideal. Each center takes about 10-15 minutes.

The five centers include:

8 multiple-choice question cards

Sorting a list of foods into what the Iroquois did/did not eat

Sorting a list of jobs into which were done by men or women

Ordering the steps of tanning a deerskin

Ordering a list of festivals and matching them to the reason for celebration
