Do you know which American landmark is a symbol of Thomas Jefferson's role in Westward Expansion? In this module, students will learn facts about American landmarks and what makes them significant. For the students' final written task, they will create a travel blog describing a landmark and explaining its significance. This module targets and explicitly teaches the following focus standards:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.1.1: Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.1.2: Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and
information.
PA Academic Standards for History(PreK-3).History.8.3.1.B: Identify American landmarks and their significance.
Note: We have chosen Kidblog as the platform for creating blogs because it is kid-friendly and easy to navigate. Kidblog offers a 30-day free trial. After the trial, the blogs are still visible, but can no longer be edited.
