Objectives for Learners: Students will: 1. Study the early life and innovations of Benjamin Franklin using a variety of media (autobiography, biographies, Internet web sites, condensed history or display boards, dramatic presentation); 2. Prepare written answers to selected Introductory Questions based upon their individual or shared research.

This activity requires that students work in groups to depict famous people (explorer, president, scientist, etc.) from history over the course of a week. Students put together a script of the life of the famous person and then use props to role play this person's life.

This activity challenges students that have been divided into teams to be the first to call out answers to simple math problems.

Students are divided into groups. Each group will choose or be given a specific country to study. They must learn what kinds of items are made and sold in their country and decide what things they want to make for their booth at the market. Each group must make a sign for their booth which has the name and a picture of their country. Students are encouraged to find information on the web, at the library, or in their community.

In this math game, numbers are put on soda pop caps and they are placed in a bag. Once the teacher decides which kind of math problems to do, students or the teacher pulls a number from the bag and calls it out, students write it down on their papers, and then another number is pulled and written down by the students. The teacher then has students to solve the addition, subtraction, multiplication or division problem from these numbers.
