Dorothy's journey...
We will use technology and active learning in my class.

The student will learn to become a productive member of a group.

They will be able to identify, apply, analyze, and demonstrate the different aspects of American History.

They will be able to design, solve, and create scenarios.

The students can use this type of learning in almost all of the areas in Social Studies that we cover. If any of the events in our history had turned out different then our lives today would be vastly different.
 * Authentic Learning**

What: Explain what roll the Bill of Rights will play in your life as well as the life of your family. Why: Design a chart that illustrates and explains the Bill of Rights and what roll they play in your life. How/Where: Tie discussions into real life applications. Then allow students to work in small groups to design a chart illustrating how the Bill of Rights affect our lives today. Use the computer to research possible outcomes of different situations covered under the Bill of Rights.

Extend: This could be aligned to most units in Social Studies to some degree.
