Full Term study on Thailand. I developed this for my Stage 8 class as we are doing Thailand for the International Food Fair. I lived in Thailand for 2 years so most of the photos are mine and topics are based on my own experiences. My class really enjoyed this whole unit - they loved learning a bit of Thai and got really enthusiastic about the tasks! There are 9 topics in total and I have included worksheets/notes that cover everything on the Powerpoint so your students won’t need to write anything down. The Powerpoint is not heavy on text as I preferred to project images and diagrams and layer on detail in class discussion but there is more information on the worksheets. Most topics include a build in assessment task (Tasks on the PP and worksheets). The topics are: Introduction to Thailand Language and National Sport (Muay Thai) Festival and festival Culture Buddhism Climate and Weather Brief History of Modern Thailand Food Plants and Animals of Thailand End of Unit Quiz You can make it run longer or short depending on the ability of the class, how often you have Humanities and how much enrichment you add. For example, when we studied Muay Thai, we did a short Muay Thai class for fun. Feel free to email me at shellyschutte20@gmail.com if you want anymore information.

A creative homework choice board to encourage students to try new things/learn skills after school. It has a range of activity options from gardening to fixing something that is broken. Students need to complete at least 1 task per week but can do more - they get a special prize at end of term if they complete the whole board. Parents must sign that they see student complete the task. I use this as my homeroom class’ Wednesday afternoon homework. Monday and Tuesday is Grammar and Arithmetic so it’s nice to do something a bit more creative in the middle of the week! Hope you find it useful.
