Students in grades 3-5 will create a booklet introducing new and returning students to the teachers and classrooms in their school. To create the booklet, students will conduct interviews of teachers, generating their own interview questions. They will take notes during the interviews and organize the information collected. The goal is for students to understand the importance of diversity among teachers and help familiarize other students with the staff.

3. Unit Plan Summary: New students and some returning students are not familiar with the staff and room locations of teachers in grades K-5. My class will create a booklet to address these issues. Students will generate interview questions, complete the interview, and create a page for the booklet. Hopefully they will then create a video of these interviews as read by the student.
