About this resource

What's inside this resource

If you have taught students, or are about to teach students about traditions, here is an activity that you may be interested in incorporating for them!

This is an It’s a Tradition Brochure Activity. This is an activity I created in order to check for understanding about traditions at the end of a language arts unit. It was also great for a quick check of writing skills. You’ll see there are two rubric options just in case you like to assess more concepts at a time. I used this with the second and third graders in my split class and I felt it met the standards and skill levels of both grades.

Included in this product:

--Prewrite checklist

--Traditions prewrite

--A Front and Back Brochure with 6 sections

Cover page
