My Students

My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations. From heartbreaking stories of hard family lives and situations no teenager should be subjected to, to families that instantly support my request for something as simple as Kleenex with several boxes and a thank you note. I teach students who are reading at a 1st grade reading level to those that could do an Advanced Placement class next year.

In spite of this, I have found ways to get my students excited about social studies--working on geography, history, economics, and civics in ways that connect to their lives.

We have a high level of school pride and are embarking on a new learning model; combining standards based grading with proficiency based lessons. Our hope is to have students able to work at their own pace through a variety of lessons and to show what they know in ways that work for them.

My Project

8th Grade Social Studies covers the Revolution to Reconstruction. Our 3rd Quarter is spent on Westward Expansion. Students learn how our country expanded and grew and who was there, along for the adventure.

Reading and writing historical arguments is the big standard covered in this unit--one of our first writing pieces is an argument--do Lewis and Clark deserve to be called heroes?

This magazine is used to supplement primary sources, textbooks and videos as a source of evidence for their argument. This is especially a helpful source for students who struggle with reading or have a learning disability. It allows students easy access to all sorts of information with pictures, graphs, and short descriptions.
