Mrs. Zeih's 5th Grade Class at Mill Creek Elementary in Independence, Mo. (the hometown of President Harry S Truman) has been learning inquiring base skills through a research project that has allowed them to view all forms of resources. Our unit began with an encyclopedia scavenger hunt to a secondary resource activity on Truman, using maps, timelines, newspapers, historical non-fiction books, graphs, charts, and almanacs. Then, for the next few days, we investigated information about Truman from bookmarked addresses on the Internet. While the students were working on the Internet, the Truman Footlocker came to our room. The students were very excited about the trunk and couldn't wait to see what was inside!
