5th Grade ELA at Ames & Central Schools

We are in the midst of our Defined Stem unit titled Zoologist, which has the students taking on the role of a zoologist and working with the World Wildlife Fund to develop an ad campaign designed to protect an endangered species. Students have completed a flier for distribution at local zoos and aquariums, and are now focused on creating an infomercial that will inspire people to take action to help their chosen animal. 

The finishing touches for both components of their marketing campaign will hopefully be wrapped up next week. At that point we will begin the text A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. This will connect to the 5th grade Ready Gen module that analyzes how individuals respond to their environment. 

Be sure to ask your child what creative solution was developed in order to tackle the problem of how much of our food supply ultimately ends up in the trash, as well as what the goal of the Ad Council is. (*Hint, students can refer to resources posted in Google Classroom if they need additional info for you.)
