Welcome to Gifted Social Studies
American History (1860-1938): Mrs. Schroeder
To start the school year off, we have spent time building our classroom community by introducing ourselves through One-Pagers and team-building activities. We also have begun our first unit, Historians in Training where we will introduce and practice historical thinking skills (sourcing, contextualizing, close reading, and corroborating). Students are learning about the strengths and limitations of primary and secondary sources, as well as how to analyze sources they come across for bias and other valuable information.
All assignments and resources can be found on Canvas. Please utilize the homepage of Canvas to see the current Week at a Glance.
Student's grades will be updated on Infinite Campus.
World Civilizations I: Mr. Wetter and Mrs. Schroeder
To kick off the school year we looked at the 5 themes of Geography and the students will be completing a presentation next week utilizing the 5 themes. They will be picking and arguing for which city or town would be most ideal to survive a zombie apocalypse. This will be their first quasi-CER in class this year as they will be expected to show evidence that their chosen city or town is the best to hunker down in and give the class their reasoning. Groovy.
