Chicago's Birthday



During Unit 2: How Chicago Came to Be of Social Studies, students learned that Chicago officially became a city on March 4, 1837.  So, today we celebrated Chicago's birthday!  Students created birthday cards for the city using the following RAFT format:


o  R (Role) – A citizen of Chicago

o  A (Audience) – The city of Chicago

o  F (Format) – Birthday card

o  T (Topic) – Chicago’s birthday (what accomplishments Chicago should be proud of over the years, and what the city should be excited to celebrate)
