**Subject: Social Studies** **Grade Level: 5** **Link Address:** [] **How I would use it in my classroom: I** **would use this less before teaching about the Consitution and the other founding fathers who developed the Constitution. I would also use this lesson AFTER talking about the Revolutionary War and its aftermath. I feel that it is a good lesson to help students understand why the government is the way it is today. I may also split students into groups and have them choose a part of the Constitution to research.**

**Title: Solving the Math Curse: Reading and Writing Math Word Problems** **Subject: Math** **Grade Level: 5** **Link Address:** [] =How to use it in my classroom: I would use this lesson on one of the first days of school. I feel that the story is a fun way to introduce the students to solving math word problems. This is also a great lesson to use before math PSSAs. I would split my students into partners and give them each a different PSSA practice problem to solve. Then I would give them the checklist and have them use it for math PSSA practice problems.=

**Title: Alliteration All Around** **Subject: Language Arts** **Grade Level: 5** **Link Address:** [] **How I will use it in my classroom: I will use this lesson to teach my students about alliteration, especially because it is not a part of our curriculum and it is needed for Reading PSSAs. I would use it during PSSA prep time. After learning about alliteration, I would split them into groups and give each group a novel we have read together as a class. I would instruct them to skim the novel and find examples of alliteration and explain why it is alliteration.**

**Does incorporating multimedia into the classroom help prepare students for standardized testing (PSSA testing)?**
