My goal this week is to look up and select the Social Studies standards that correlate with my local government. After I do that, I plan to design the "introduction" and "task". I already have some resources preselected and highlighted on a previous blog, but I expect I may want to add to it.
I wonder if you are allowed to create your own resources and place them on the web. Then have students look at that as part of your process? I would think so, although that would take more time and planning and may not be the most efficient way of doing this project...
I like the idea of using Ben's Guide to Government as another resource. I would like about 4-5 resources for the students to work through to complete their task.
Good question Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteIf you are using all teacher created material then why create a WQ? You should limit your teacher created material to the task and introduction and teacher sections as much as possible. And - as you said, rather time consuming. That would be better suited for a Web based lesson rather than a WQ.
So I finally sat down to look up the content standards and which ones for social studies would work well. I selected "students should know the history of US symbols". I am back to the starting point, but at least it is narrowed down.
