Fourth Grade
Colonial Job Fair
Tuesday, February 27, 2024
A major historical event that our students study is the Boston Tea Party. The book, Colonial Voices: Hear Them Speak, is a beautifully written first-person narrative that shares the thoughts of everyday Bostonians on the eve of the Boston Tea Party. Students learn to differentiate first-person and third-person narration, as well as how people’s life experiences, such as their occupations, shape their perspectives about controversial topics.
Students chose a colonial job based on their RIASEC code. They studied, researched, and presented their job to other students in the school.
