Tired of depending on uninspiring and outdated textbooks and worksheets to teach your upper elementary students? I get it. I’ve been there.

Our This Day in History digital LINKtivity® series is designed with diverse learners in mind, featuring user-friendly navigation and audio support that reads text to students, making it perfect for struggling readers and English language learners.

As students explore the discovery of gold, they will learn:
WHAT happened?
WHO was involved in the discovery of gold
WHEN gold was found
WHY the discovery of gold was so important
WHERE the gold was discovered
HOW was gold discovered
With audio, text, video, and interactive digital tools, students will immerse themselves in this pivotal event in history.
While using the LINKtivity®, students will complete a simple graphic organizer (printable or digital) to highlight the information that they learned in the LINKtivity®.
To view the LINKtivity®, you will only need access to the internet (no fancy software or programs needed!)
The LINKtivity® can be used as a whole class by projecting the digital guide on a SMARTBoard or white board, in small groups gathered around a single device or even as individuals by using personal tablets, iPads, chrome books...etc.
HERE'S WHAT IS INCLUDED:
A user-friendly teacher guide with all links and downloads accessible directly from the guide + a step-by-step lesson plan to implement with the LINKtivity
