This research project is one of my favorites because of the colorful dioramas that the first grade students make to present the information they have found about markets around the world. The students love this research project, too! You will find many resources about markets around the world in an earlier post on my blog. Click here to read the posting, which I have updated to include some additional resources. All the books about markets have been borrowed by the first grade teachers and you will find the books in your classrooms. There are many books in the library, including encyclopedias, about countries around the world so don't forget to come in and look at them. You'll also find many books at your local public library. Read my earlier post for useful information to help you with your research.
