Reasons for Selection Every community has a cemetery for the deceased to rest. The cemetery can teach about the past. Cemeteries can teach people about people’s lives, culture, religion, traditions, rituals, wars, symbols, geography, and families. Cemeteries are places in the community where children can activity research the history of the people in their community. Children can explore the nature of their community. The tombstones at the cemetery can be used as documentary tools. Children can learn geography by reading maps and following directions.

Social Studies Threads Geography: 1.) Students can use maps to gather information about Greenfield, Wisconsin. 2.) Children can learn how their community connects to the world. History: 1.) Children can use the information from the tombstones, maps, symbols, and photos in the cemetery to construct information about the past. 2.) Children can use the information from the cemetery to create timelines.

Social Studies Thread Political Science and Citizenship: Economics: 1.) Students will learn from the cemetery the responsibility of the people who have leaved in the past. Economics: 1.) Students will learn that cemeteries are a business. Behavioral Science: 1.) Students will learn about people who are different than themselves. 2.) Students will learn how language provides information about different cultures. 3.) Students will learn how a person’s identity is formed. 4.) Students will learn how families are different.

Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Social Studies Performance Standards Geography: A.4.5 Use atlases, databases, grid systems, charts, graphs, and maps to gather information about the local community, Wisconsin, the United States, and the world A.4.7 Identify connections between the local community and other places in Wisconsin, the United States, and the world History: B.4.1 Identify and examine various sources of information that are used for constructing an understanding of the past, such as artifacts, documents, letters, diaries, maps, textbooks, photos, paintings, architecture, oral presentations, graphs, and charts B.4.2 Use a timeline to select, organize, and sequence information describing eras in history

Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Social Studies Performance Standards Political Science and Citizenship: C.4.1 Identify and explain the individual's responsibilities to family, peers, and the community, including the need for civility and respect for diversity. Economics: D.4.3 Identify local goods and services that are part of the global economy and explain their use in Wisconsin. Behavioral Science: E.4.2 Explain the influence of factors such as family, neighborhood, personal interests, language, likes and dislikes, and accomplishments on individual identity and development E.4.3 Describe how families are alike and different, comparing characteristics such as size, hobbies, celebrations, where families live, and how they make a living. E.4.8 Describe and distinguish among the values and beliefs of different groups and institutions E.4.9 Explain how people learn about others who are different from themselves E.4.11 Give examples and explain how language, stories, folk tales, music, and other artistic creations are expressions of culture and how they convey knowledge of other peoples and cultures

Before the Research Exploration: Provide children with background and historical information about the cemetery. Discuss with the children what they know about cemeteries. Brainstorm with the children why a cemetery would be a good place to conduct social science research. Explain to the children that at cemeteries, we can learn about our community through people, traditions, symbols, religion, language, art, and nature.

The Research Activity Explain at the cemetery, the children will be working with a partner to conduct research on their community. They will need to stay with their partners at all times as they walk around. In their research notebook, the children will take notes of symbols, languages, art, and messages they observe on the tombstones. Students will use large white paper and crayons to create a rubbing of a tombstone. Students will be asked to spread out in the cemetery to explore the cemetery in its entirety.

Small Group www.wesleyrankin.org/.../C_M_children_d.jpg http://www.ecu.edu/cs-educ/alternative_licensure/images/Two_Children.jpg This activity is designed to have small groups of children explore and conduct research all around the cemetery. The children will be allowed to walk around sections of the cemetery with a partner. There will be adult supervision. This activity would be difficult for a large group exploration. If we completed this project in a large group, the children would not be activity constructing knowledge.
