5th Grade Fall PBL
The 5th grade Fall PBL topic explores the intersections between food, identity, and culture. As part of our work, students read mentor text picture books that reflect the topic and identified an important “food theme” that the story represents. They then created a piece of art that illustrates the main food featured in the story and includes the theme students selected.
