Social Studies Update

9/21/2017

  We've had a great start so far in Social Studies.  Students started off the year looking at some of the tools we use to learn about history.  The Domino Effect, primary & secondary sources, recognizing bias, and identifying social, political, cultural, and economic issues were the main themes. We also covered September 11, Constitution Day, and have had discussions about current events.  I am very impressed with the students' insightful comments on these topics and their genuine curiosity about the world around them.  One thing we will be working on a lot this year is primary and secondary sources.  Students made source guides with the goal that a younger student could look at their guide and learn the differences between the two types.  A couple of examples done on paper are below!
This week, we are jumping into our first report card standard, Explains the development and rise of the Roman Empire​.  As we simulate the Roman senate and watch Rome grow, more information and pictures will come!
