Explorers Project Students will apply the research process for this multiple class unit. They will read about a particular explorer, learn about their aims, challenges and accomplishments, and will trace the routes they followed on maps. As a group, they will generate questions to use during the "Interview with an Explorer" section. Students will gain practice in writing skills to communicate effectively as they create a journal from the Explorer's point of view. 5

Rock Star Road Trip Just what is there to do and see in this country anyway? We don't often ask students what their interests are. Through personal choice in music, this activity encourages students to visit other cities, apply real-world tools, and discover just what there is to do in other places. May be conducted collaboratively with music (genre), social studies (geography), and Math (economics)or may be taught in isolation. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Research on Nevada History Using information skills previously taught in the library, students will use online databases and print resources to investigate the history of Nevada. This research will support the classroom social studies lessons as students learn about the state they live in and why we celebrate Nevada Day. Students will be able to make connections to the events and people that led to Nevada's statehood. 2
