Thanksgiving Dinner Plan -Digital

As the holidays are approaching and I am noticing my students are beginning to loose focus, I really want to make sure they are engaged and understand that what we are studying applies to more than just math class. This week, during independent/partner work part of our days, students are going to work together or on their own if needed ( I always prefer in partners for projects so they can have someone to discuss ideas with, check work with, grow with) to create a Thanksgiving Dinner Plan.
I am providing detailed instructions of what is expected along with a rubric. I am also providing a chart students can use to record their work. However, I am well aware that often 5th graders are much more creative than I am when it comes to charts, so I am going to make sure they know they can change the chart in any way they want as long as they are still answering all the questions. I am also challenging them to present their work on seesaw including the written component and thus share it with others. If you are not using Seesaw, Dojo works just as well. Students can even record themselves and post in Google Classroom instead.

Once my students complete this assignment, I will post their charts on this page. I would love to see examples of what your students come up with!
