How to Integrate SS Content into ELA

Integrating SS Content into ELA is one way I attempt to fit it all in to our busy day.

One of the students’ favorite projects is always famous Missourians! I always end the year in Social Studies with this! We have done Wax Museum, Bottle Buddies, Paper Doll Books and this year Cut Out Posters! They researched a famous Missourian using note cards with questions provided. There are 10 notecards each with a topic on the back that they write the source and info on we collaborate with the Library for this (it is similar to my Scientist Collage project). They then created a poster leaving an oval where the face goes blank. They cut out the oval and stick their face in it 🙂 to read their biography!

 

Here is a group picture after presenting on their famous Missourians!
