Grade 5 Gifted & Talented

Mythical People, Creatures, and Places

Fifth graders have been researching mythical people and places for their most recent unit. They have been challenged to create a presentation based on their research, and their presentations may bein any format that they choose. This is an exciting opportunity for students to share their passion with their classmates (theater? technology? poetry? Anything goes!) When their presentations are complete, students will then write their own "Untold Tale" that will included a creature and place from their imagination.

Students were challenged to create an elevator for a haunted house that could transport a small pumpkin from the first floor of a haunted house of their creation to the second floor. The elevator was required to include a handle and a crank.
