Valued for its vigor and exceptional adaptability, Hemerocallis fulva produces six-petaled, trumpet-shaped, tawny-orange blossoms atop tall, leafless stalks. Rising from a mound of arching, strap-shaped, light green leaves, each flower, up to 3-4 in. wide (7-10 cm), typically lasts no more than 24 hours (thus the common name 'Daylily'), opening up in the morning and withering during the forthcoming night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. A great naturalizer, this Daylily multiplies happily! Blooming from mid to late summer, this clump-forming perennial grows up to 36 in. tall (90 cm) and spreads slowly via rhizomes to 30 in. (75 cm)

These pages can be used as interactive notebook pages or simply as stand-alone, ready to use student activity pages to make research of a country or city a bit more fun! My “Less Mess” Interactive Notebook Activities allow for two simple steps: cut around the border and glue it in. That’s it! They are perfect for teachers who may have their students for just one short period per day. However, if you are a big fan of the “folds and flaps” that usually come with interactive notebooks, this resource can be a nice supplement to add to what you already have or to use on days when you may have less time. The pages are designed so that they will work in spiral notebooks, composition books, three hole binders, or as individual activity pages if you are not yet fully ready to commit to interactive notebooks in your classroom. ★ PLEASE NOTE that this resource is included in my "Less Mess" Map Skills and Geography Interactive Notebook Activities and my "Less Mess" Social Studies, Map Skills & Geography Interactive Notebook Activities Bundle as well. Give your students an opportunity to “explore” cities or countries that fascinate them. These activities could be done in two different ways. You could have the students write about the city or country first on the Dream Travel page (to see what they already know) and then do some research to complete the country (or city) page. Two versions of the writing page are included with different line spacing to better meet your students’ needs. Alternately, you could have them do a little research first on the country or city page and then write about their dream travels (incorporating what they learned from their research). If you’d like them to get create with their research, have them write fictional narratives (My Trip page) about their travels using details learned in their research The research page makes a colorful page to include on a bulletin board display when completed. ★ You may also want to check out my full line of "Less Mess" Interactive Notebook Activities!
