In this sixty minute class students will learn where surnames or last names originated from and how they are formed. They will have the opportunity to look up the meaning behind their own surname and dig deeper into their history.
Class experience
This sixty minute class will be divided into two parts. In part one, students will be learning about the origin and meanings behind surnames or last names. Students will then be directed to research their own last name using specific credible websites I have provided. As the students research their last name, they will be filling out a worksheet that helps them learn the meaning, origin, and various spellings of their last name.
The second part of the lesson will focus on family...Students will learn the meaning and the historical origins of surnames and family crests. They will also learn about the origin and meaning of their own surname.
3 files available upon enrollmentI will be providing a surname worksheet that students will be asked to download. They can complete it digitally or print it out on paper. I will also be providing a coat of arms template. I would suggest printing this off as students like to draw their coat of arms and then use colored pencils to add color. I would suggest downloading these two items prior to class. Other materials that may be used would be colored pencils to color the coat of arms and scissors to cut out template when finished. An optional suggestion that I think makes the coat of arms look complete, is a piece of construction paper and glue to attach the coat of arms to the piece of construction paper.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This material is appropriate for all ages.
