Long ago and today informative writing activities and a freebie! Included in this long ago unit are anchor charts, sorts, student worksheets and an interactive social studies flap book.
Hello Friend!
At this time of the year I always teach a “Long Ago and Today “social studies unit. We also start an informative “All About” writing unit. Long ago before I knew of TpT , I created a writing booklet for my students to use as we compared the past to the present.
Let me tell you, it was not cute!! ?
So I had an idea to make a flap book that compared the past to the the present and I am so excited that it came out exactly as I envisioned! (rarely happens to me) This unit ended up to be so much more than I imagined, take a peek at some of the goodies!
I know since it is interactive with the moving flaps my kids are going to EAT.IT.UP.! I love that our social studies unit is integrated with writing, so the writing unit becomes so meaningful to my students. I also love that there is not a lot of cutting to make the pages interactive to show past/present.
