An interdisciplinary unit for second graders dealing with "blue themes" in literature. The unit uses Blueberries for Sal, Jamberry, and several other books to build "blue" connections. This lesson plan was one of the winners in a lesson plan contest sponsored by TeachersFirst. TeachersFirst editors have added technology options where appropriate.

In the Classroom

This collection of "blue" activities gives teachers many choices. You may even want to invite some parents in to help with some of them, especially if students use the computer to create projects.

Want suggestions for what every literate student (or adult) should read? Here are some suggestions from TeachersFirst's editors.

In the Classroom

Share this list with students as a challenge, and make the link available on your class web page. Consider conducting a year-long independent reading challenge, asking students to read from this list and create their choice of media "advertisement" or critique of the book using one of the many tool options in the TeachersFirst Edge. Ask students to generate a personal goal "Lifetime Reading" or "Book Bucket List" and share it in their own creative way.

Learn about food, feasting, and other historic culinary items on this site with these medieval and Renaissance European recipes. All recipes have been adapted for the 21st century kitchen. This site also has a link to their YouTube channel. If this content interests you, besure to check out the menu on the left for other cultures and times.

In the Classroom

If you and your students are studying the medieval and/or Renaissance period of time this is a nice addition to engage student interest. Think about having individuals, pairs, or small groups of students choose a recipe to create at home. Then ask them to photograph the steps in making the dish and the final product. Enhance learning by having students use the Free Online Photo Editor, reviewed here, to label and put borders around the photos. Extend learning by having students put their photos into a class recipe book using Ourboox, reviewed here.

You'll find lots of information on Medieval Food, Menus, Banquets, and Feasts. But you can also learn about Medieval Manners, Recipes, Gambling, Music, a blog, and more! This site is a must-see if you study medieval history and want a high-interest theme-based unit.

In the Classroom

If you teach World History, this is the perfect site to get some extra ideas to make your unit more interesting for your students. In the blog, you will find information about Eleanor of Aquitaine, Castles Gardens, Saint George the Dragon Slayer, and others. If you have weak readers in the class, you may want to use Read Ahead, reviewed here to create a guided reading activity for the blog articles. Enhance learning by having small groups of students choose a topic from the blog for further investigaion and then report about it to the other groups using Genially, reviewed here where students can choose their type of multimedia presentation. Have you heard about the novel A Proud Taste for Scarlett and Miniver, the life story of Eleanor of Aquitaine (who married two kings and gave birth to two kings) by E.L. Konisburg? It is a perfect fit to add historical fiction to your history classroom.
