American Events !

5 lesser known American Events powerpoint, including 1 multiple choice question per event

This is a powerpoint I made for 5th grade ES, but at points, the JTE translated, which helped them fully understand. Works with all levels ES 5th - JHS 3rd. You can make the script more complicated if you'd like.

The students can chat with their side partners or group members, and then I get a show of hands for each answer before revealing.

If you use this for 5th grade, make sure they have studied dates and "can" before this.
In my script, I focused on "You can enjoy/ eat/ see~" type grammar for that level.

Thanks for including the script.
One minor suggestion, you might want to change the gif of the baby duck to a baby chicken on slide 17 of the PPT.

Great idea! The lesser known events are great to share with students and JTEs as well.
