What educators are saying

My students enjoyed this activity as it gave them a change of pace in the classroom. They like trying to solve the puzzle of sorting the cards. I had them make a timeline as an extension of this project, so it was a great first teaching step to get the kids engaged.

This was a great timeline resource for the War of 1812 that gave a good overview of different aspects that lead up to and happened during the war. Very little prep needed- just cutting the pictures.

Description

I know I always am! This War of 1812 activity is hands-on and interactive. Students can complete a worksheet at the end to show their understanding.

Here's how it works:

I needed a way to for my students. I came up with this strategy that I call “visual summary” that has worked really well with all levels of my students! This is one of my favorite products in my entire store.

Please note! This is NOT meant to be an in-depth study of the War of 1812. It is a basic summary activity and focuses on the topics mentioned below this description.

  • In this lesson, students are put in groups of 2 or 3. is the reader of a 2 page summary of the War of 1812, which is included in this purchase. are the picture sorters. They hear cues from the reader and sort pictures (you cut them up and put them in baggies) relating to the summary in the order they hear them. After they are finished, they put the summary away and “retell” the story of the War of 1812 to their group using only the pictures. You could extend this easily into a writing assignment.
  • They are "listening, speaking, reading and writing" in this lesson.

After they are finished, you can assess their learning with the assessment page (using the visuals) I’ve included.

  • -detailed instructions for the teacher
  • -picture of my student working on the picture sort for reference
  • -2 page summary (see topics listed below) with picture number cues
  • -pictures to cut out for students (to be put in baggies for each group)
