A Day in the Life of a Pioneer Kid
As a final assignment for our Pioneer Unit, I asked the boys and girls to imagine that they are a pioneer child. They were to spend a few minutes imagining what a day would be like back in time. They then wrote a recount (journal type entry) from a pioneer child's perspective. The kids loved this activity. I have never seen us all so keen to write! Everyone is doing a great job of demonstrating their learning from the unit and making wonderful connections. I am thinking that this will have to be collated into one of our class-famous books!
