Who’s Behind the Flag? Italy Grand Tour Unit Study

Description

Who’s Behind the Flag: Italy Grand Tour Unit Study takes the student on a tour through Italy as they learn about the facts and the people of the country. They are on a mission to discover the identity of the famous person whose identity has been concealed in this study. Can you solve the mystery?

This unit study includes:

2 Clues
Clue Journal
2 Hands-on Activities
Italy Grand Tour Board Game
6 Writing Prompts
SPOILER ALERT! The identity of this famous person is revealed at the end of this description.

In the reading assignments, the children are given clues about the life of the mystery person. They are on a mission to discover who they are learning about. They will read about where this person was born, their family, and their career choice.

After every reading assignment, there is a hands-on activity that goes along with what the student has learned. This gives them a sensory experience that will help remember what they have learned. Plus, this is the fun part!

I created a board game called Italy Grand Tour as a fun and engaging way for the children to learn facts about Italy. The game cards include information about interesting facts, exciting places, and fascinating people in Italy. The child is supposed to read the card aloud to everyone and then they follow the directions on the card. They have a chance to advance a certain amount of spaces, go back a certain amount of spaces, freeze like gelato, move ahead to a specific place, or maybe even trade spots with an opponent.

It highlights six famous people from Italy so they have a chance to make an educated guess. The people are:

Alessandro Volta
Christopher Columbus
Michelangelo
Galileo Galilei
Leonardo da Vinci
Marco Polo
I have included six writing prompts so the child can put what they are learning to paper.

SPOILER ALERT: The mystery person is Leonardo da Vinci.
