Veterans Day is coming up and I love finding great ways to integrate my curriculum with anything social studies related. Plus, getting to celebrate a holiday is always an extra bonus!
I just finished making a new Internet-based activity called
'A Veterans Day Celebration' where students will be led through the six steps of a webquest: introduction, task, process, resources, evaluation, and conclusion. Students will learn about the history of Veterans Day, conduct a research project, and they will get do a fun activity where they get to plan their own Veterans Day celebration.
Here is what's included in this download:
-Teacher instruction page
-Student instruction page (includes web quest information)
-QR Codes to the websites (for iPad use)
-Student research page
-Activity graphic organizer
-Two activity templates

Here's a fun fact I learned today: Veterans Day does not have an apostrophe. While we honor veterans on Veterans Day, the holiday does not belong to them. {Source}
