The Story of Lumbering 伐木工们的故事

I separated the whole comic story into 16 parts as I have 15 students. I gave one page to each student and let them find the right order of the story. Although the original version of the story is in English, I told the story in Chinese and the followed assignment is having students write some captions by themselves in Chinese. We will see if it will become a silly story or a better one than the original story.

Credits to

Biography Project 大亨传记

This biography project was based on Chapter 11, Northern Lights and The Men Who Built American.

Students can choose one out of eight entrepreneurs, Charles Pillsbury, Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Henry Oliver, Conrnelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan.

Industry Monopoly 工业大富翁

I created a game based on Monopoly and Chapter 11, Northern Lights. 

I will post this board game all printable documents on Teacherspayteacher soon.

Create a Town 设计一个小镇

The project was based on Chapter 10, Northern Lights. I gave students to create their own town to persuade other students to move to his/her town. Most of the students handed in a map, a brochure and the instruction sheet with their answers to that. One of the students brought a 3D town to school on due day which surprised me a lot. Excellent job!!!
