Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

Agenda:
1. Attendance and collect homework
2. Finish "Class Procedures" (pg 3)
3. Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? (pg 4-5)
HW: Introduction to Primary Sources (pg 6)

Today we asked the question, "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" Students had to dig back into their memories from three years ago to recall information about the explorers, the colonies, and that Jack Black look-alike named Paul Revere. It was a fun "quiz" that we took and graded in class (no points off for wrong answers).

For homework, students are to retrieve an item from home that will serve as their own personal "primary source." If we were filling a time capsule to represent life in America in the early 21st century, what single item would you include that says something about you? Follow the instructions on the sheet, and be prepared to present your artifact in class next time.
