  13. GeographyIII. People, Places, and EnvironmentsIX. Global Connections Famous Person: Sacajawea Activities: • Mini Lecture: After discussing some of the hard things that the students in the class have done before, introduce Sacajawea. Give them the background on her life and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Compare the hardships she had to face to some that were mentioned earlier in class. • Turn-2-Think: Have the students divide into groups of four by counting off 1-4. Have them count off again within their groups so that each member has a number. Instruct them to draw a card from the question pile (cards can be found at: www. Teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/tlresoures/units/Byrnes-famous/sacajawe.html). Each member is to think of the answer and then they are to draw an answer card to see who will answer.

  15. III. People, Places, and EnvironmentsIX. Global Connections Famous Person: Sacajawea Activities: • Think-Pair-Share: Remind students of some of the gestures Sacajawea made to communicate with both those of her own tribe and those from other tribes, for example, sucking her fingers, throwing the blanket around her brother, and painting their cheeks red. Then ask them to get into groups of two and think of some of the gestures we use today to communicate with one another. Some examples would be shaking hands, waving, kissing on the cheek, or pointing at certain things like our ears to indicate that we can’t hear. Then have each group pair up with another group to share their ideas. Each group will then share three ideas with the class. • Picture this: Have each student choose three things Sacajawea did that they think demonstrates courage of resourcefulness and have them illustrate each thing, adding a one line caption to explain the picture.

  16. III. People, Places, and EnvironmentsIX. Global Connections Famous Person: Sacajawea Activities: 5. Mapping Activity: Using Rhoda Blumberg’s book, The Incredible Journey of Lewis & Clark, as a reference, show the students the general route of the expedition from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean. Discuss the geography of each are and brainstorm ideas of how they used the natural resources of each area to meet their basic needs. Blumberg’s book also gives examples of what the group ate in each different area they were in, buffalo in Montana, salmon in Idaho, and whale blubber from near the ocean, as well as how they used different materials to make clothes. Compare the student’s ideas to those in the book and ask the students if they have any more suggestions. Then have each child make a small flag of something the group used or may have used to meet their basic needs and let them put it up on the map in the area that they would have used it.

  18. EconomicsVII. Production, Distribution, and Consumption Famous Person: Alexander Hamilton Activities: (Source for all: http://www.usmint.gov/kids/campCoin/funWithCoins.cfm) 1. 'PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS' NOTECARDS • Make your own notepaper with a coin rubbing design.  It would make a nice gift! Make the Cards • Place a sheet of tracing paper over a sheet of heavy white paper.  Hold them together with 4 paper clips, one near each corner. • Place the attached papers in front of you vertically; then, with a ruler and a pencil, draw a very fine line dividing the papers in half horizontally.  Cut them in half along this line. • You should now have two 8½ x 5½ sets of tracing and heavy paper.  Fold each set in half (with the tracing paper on the outside) to make 2¾ by 4¼ inch note cards. Create the Design • Write Penny For Your Thoughts on the tracing paper front of your note cards, leaving space for your coin rubbing design. • Place a coin between the tracing paper and heavy white paper, then rub it with a brown or copper colored crayon or colored pencil to make a coin rubbing design around the words. Put Them Together • Staple the two papers together in the crease formed when you fold them in half, or glue the two papers together with a very thin line of glue around the edges of the heavy paper. • These cards can be used without envelopes, but you can also use leftover envelopes from old note card collections or purchase note card envelopes in some party goods stores or card shops.

  19. 4. EconomicsVII. Production, Distribution, and Consumption Famous Person: Alexander Hamilton Activities: (Source for all: http://www.usmint.gov/kids/campCoin/funWithCoins.cfm) 2. MONEY-HUNGRY PIGGY BANK Make this cute "piggy bank" out of papier-mâché, which you can make yourself or buy. Blow up a balloon to about 4" to 6" in diameter.  Knot it, and cover with papier-mâché. To make the papier-mâché, tear up 8 to 10 newspaper pages into 6 by 1 inch strips.  Then make a solution of water and white glue.  Briefly soak the strips in the solution and lay them carefully, one by one, on the balloon, three or four layers deep. For the pig's head, make a small ball of bunched up newspaper, which you've covered in papier-mâché strips.  Add little triangles made out of newspaper for ears; attach them to the head with strips of papier-mâché.  Then attach the head to the pig's body with additional strips. For legs, make short columns of balled up paper, then cover and attach the same way.  You could also cut off sections of paper towel or toilet paper tubes, then cover and attach to the body with papier-mâché. For the tail, make a hole in the pig's bottom and insert a rolled up piece of paper or a curled pipe cleaner. After the pig dries—about two days—pop the balloon inside its body by inserting a pin. Gently sand the sculpture smooth, paint with poster paints and decorate. Finally, get an adult to cut a hole in the top for inserting coins.

  20. 4. EconomicsVII. Production, Distribution, and Consumption Famous Person: Alexander Hamilton Activities:(Source for all: http://www.usmint.gov/kids/campCoin/funWithCoins.cfm) 3. CAT AND MOUSE GAME Place two coins of the same size, (quarters, nickels, whatever you have) on a flat surface, and put a third coin of any size in front of them, making sure they all touch.  This is the "cat." Place a fourth coin, the "mouse," about a foot away.  (You could even add a tail to this coin with a piece of dental floss and tape.) Make your hand into a fist with the index and middle finger pointing out.  Then tap down quickly on the first two coins with these fingers.  The kinetic force will propel the "cat" toward the "mouse."  Play with a friend, and see who can get the cat to the mouse with the fewest hits.

  21. 4. EconomicsVII. Production, Distribution, and Consumption Famous Person: Alexander Hamilton Activities:(Source for all: http://www.usmint.gov/kids/campCoin/funWithCoins.cfm) 4. CENTS-SATIONAL COOKIES Use your favorite sugar cookie recipe to bake round, coin-shaped cookies.  With a small tube of icing, decorate the cookies and mark them with denominations of 5 cents, 10 cents, etc.  Make the coins different colors and designs.  5. GROW YOUR MONEY Any time is the right time to open your own savings account.  You can deposit your allowance, the money you've earned, or whatever you've got.  If you add to your account every time you get a little extra cash, you'll see your savings grow.  Your money will earn interest, too.* Just get your savings together, and then ask your parent or guardian to take you (with your Social Security card) to a local bank, where they'll set up an account for you. *Interest is the money the bank pays you for keeping your money in their savings account.  Typical interest payments for a savings account might start at about 1%.  At that rate, you would earn about $1 a year for every $100 you keep in the bank

Using the K-W-L strategy, brainstorm with students what they already know about elections and ask them to generate questions they would like developed about the topic. Record on chart paper.

Use their questions as focal points for class research, activities, and discussions
