WebQuests.

Webquests are pretty cool.  

For my webquest, I am thinking about doing one for fifth grade social studies.  

In the UEN core curriculum,

1. The 19th century. and the civil war and the underground railroad.  I think that it would be really cool to have the students be different roles in the webquest.  They can research different people in the underground railroad.  I'm still thinking, but they could also make a letter to someone, make a poster, and present the information they found to the class.  That's one of my ideas.  

2.  Another idea is similar to one that I saw while looking up webquests.  In the fifth curriculum, it also talks about different trails that they need to know Oregon, Mormon, California, and Spanish.  I think it would be really cool to do something like that.  Where each student in the group is part of a different trail.  They research it, write a letter or something, make a poster, and present to the class.
