Social Studies Project

Students will be working on a Social Studies project this week. Today students will have chosen a social issue they would like to address and begun brainstorming ideas. They will have to suggest a solution, discuss the level(s) of government that would be involved, and their plan of action. The success criteria is:

-clearly state the issue and your proposed solution

-in what way will you present the problem and suggested solution (what is your plan of action)? This will include actions such as petitions, protests, writing letters etc.

-identify the level(s) of government that you will be presenting the issue to

-identify the actions that the appropriate level of government should take to help with the problem

-identify the actions that citizens should take to help with the problems

Students will have time to work on these projects in class, but it will be beneficial for them to have extra time at home to work on it as well.
