Johnny Tremain C.E.U. - 5th Grade
Arts Integration! - We started this journey by reading the novel Johnny Tremain, by Esther Forbes. After digging into the setting, plot and themes of the story, it was time to bring it to life. First we had to do some research. Each pair or group of three chose a colonial trade to research and used the research to turn it into a skit. To bring in the historical aspect of the era, we also researched events of the time that would have had an effect on our businesses. We wrote reports, we composed scripts, we created backdrops, we dressed in costumes, we acted out and filmed our skits, and we edited the videos using iMovie.
Let the Research Begin! - Once we got a few chapter into the novel, it was time to choose a colonial trade and begin our research.
