My name is Janet Tufts and I am a 2nd grade teacher at Happy Valley Primary School.

This is a second grade History/Social Science lesson (standard 2.5) on Famous People. The students will learn to navigate through various web sites to create a definition of a hero. Each student will then present a biography of a famous person by creating a Power Point Presentation. Students will then present their projects while dressed as their hero.

Heroes: Now and ThenHeroes: Now and Then RevisionsRevisions
I revised the pre-writing template to better fit the students’ writing. I also changed some text in the web site and revised the pre/post test. I found that I underestimated the students’ ability to be successful on true-false tests.

Taking a standard and creating a lesson around it is a skill that more people need to explore. I hope to be able to use the lessons that others have created in this project as time progresses.
I have learned a lot from this project. I hope to use some of the skills I have learned to educate others.
