DTF: What are ideas?

 

Deep Thinking Friday 9/23/21

Watch the following TED talk.  Make 3 connections to your own life, your own school, your own town, and/or your world.  Put those connections in the Canvas discussion online for your class.

Sports and Games Around the World

5th grade GOAL Students

The link below will take you to a Google Doc.  Check out the sites on that Google Doc and read about sports and games around the world that Americans don't know much about.  Choose one that you will research and teach the class.  Once you have a topic, start your own Google Doc with facts about your sport or game.  Don't forget to document your sources (you need at least 3 different sources on your topic) so you can make a bibliography as part of the project.

Go to the following link: https://docs.google.com/a/fairfieldsfuture.org/document/d/1wFDz0OtPfFUk3yLdlO87devAqSrT2er8xGewsh-3O5c/edit?usp=sharing
