Three quarters of year

Just finishing up the plans for fourth grade wiki. We will again survive the Titanic. Very excited due to the 100th anniversary this year. First time to work with primary and secondary sources for fourth grade students. Every year I find something new to add. This year I purchased a music recording of the playlist for the RMS Titanic band. We listen to it while we do our research.

Students may choose their project. Usually they want to describe how a fictional character they have created survived the night to remember. Or they may create a slide show describing the ship.

Fifth grade right now is completing thier wiki assignment: researching and writing about stories. The wiki is called "Once upon a Story..."

Has anyone noticed that alot of media is revisiting fairy tales?
