What will students be doing?

Your students will take an ordinary manila file folder and create an extraordinary Digestive System File. Using what they’ve heard, read, and experienced in your classroom, they’ll add their personal style to bring the included Human Body Files templates, pop-ups, and foldables to LIFE!

As they . . .

• process and organize information
• color and label diagrams
• sequence events
• add notes and drawings
• collaborate with their peers

. . . they are encouraged to visualize main ideas and make connections between concepts.

Most of the content comes from you or from student research. All the images, text, and inserts included in Human Body Files serve as prompts that encourage students to respond with notes, labels, coloring, drawings, etc.

 

The result? A creative, reflective portfolio of all the information you want them to know about the Digestive system!
