__**SOCIAL STUDIES - CULTURE UNIT**__

As part of our Social Studies Culture Unit students are reading a novel based upon a certain culture. Upon completing the novel they will be learning more about the culture via the informative website/tool "culturegrams". The final step in the project will be to complete a "book trailer" using //Animoto.// See the sample book trailer below for an example of what students will be able to create with Animoto.

[|Culturegram Website]

Use the website above to complete the research on your "culture" from your novel selected and read for the Culture Unit we are currently using in Social Studies. Complete one chart for the historical culture in your novel, and one chart for the present day culture.
