What is Patriots Point blended learning?

The Blended Learning initiative is a SC state funded distance literacy program designed to create an integrated learning experience along  with teachers' lesson plans using our story books, "Harry I Was" and "Oscar's Adventure", educational videos, as well as supplementary activities featured here on this website.  Every South Carolina public school has received a set for each of their 5th grade students to keep.
​

Both books are designed to compliment your lesson plans and enhance, engage and inspire your students.  As the students read the stories that go along with your pacing guide or standards, their enjoyment of history and science will grow.
 Data proves that reading helps comprehension, and as young people travel through the eyes of “Oscar” and “Harry” their imaginations will grow too! ​

How to use the Blended Learning Reader

  1. If you are a SC 5th grade teacher, please distribute one set of books to each of your  students. These are theirs to keep. 
  2. We recommend that you read both books at the beginning of the academic year.
  3. Feel free to refer to the books throughout the year.​
  4. Keep an eye out for circular symbols in the books called Zappars. These will make your books come to life! See directions below.
