Our 1st Social Studies project is here. Students will create a portfolio on World War II that includes several different tasks. The idea is that when the student opens up their World War II portfolio, they can see a page of important vocabulary words, a page of important dates on a timeline, a page of important battles, among other tasks that are explained more in detail below.
Depending on the students prior knowledge of World War II, they are given a project in one of three tiers. Each student was given the appropriate Tier and Instructions on Wednesday, October 15th. The portfolio is due on Friday, November 7th. NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Important websites that may help with the project are http://www.dictionary.com, and http://www.kidskonnect.com. Please look at the following lesson plan to help with an understanding of the project. Everything passed out on Wednesday (for example: instructions, "cheat sheet" for the project) is posted below in case someone loses their copy. Please let Mr. Angelle know if you have any questions at all and he will be more than happy to help you. Do your best and learn as much as you can.
