Today students are completing the beginning parts of the writing process working on a paragraph that includes the examples of Social Studies in their own life.

4th block (AC class):
Students watched a video on Geo-literacy (see videos/links tab) and completed a notes sheet. The bottom of the notes sheet requires students to ask an adult about geo-literacy in their job. Another assignment was given that has students select why social studies is important to them, defend their answers, then ask an adult to do the same.
Homework: interview an adult (parent, bus driver, neighbor, etc.) about geo-literacy in their job and why social studies is important to them
