Classroom Based Assessments Social Studies Tacoma School District Spring 2009

Learning Target I will be able to explain what a CBA is. I can access resources from OSPI and Tacoma. I can design a plan to implement a CBA.

The Big Idea - Democratic Ideals We the Kids- David Catrow Why do we have rules or laws? How do laws promote freedom (liberty), or other democratic ideals? * Justice/Fairness *Equality *Life, Liberty, The pursuit of Happiness *Common Good *Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship

Hook One way to get students to start thinking about how dress influences people (fear, sad, intimidated, scared, or I want that) Show them. - What do the clothes these people are wearing make you think of ? – What inferences can you make while looking at these pictures? Out of the Bag activity- collect pictures to show different dress styles, have students pull them out of the bag and discuss questions.

Concluding Question Could styles of dress provoke inappropriate behavior?

Whose Rules? 4 th /5 th grade Citizens in a democracy have the right and responsibility to make informed decisions. You will make an informed decision on a public issue after researching and discussing different perspectives on this issue.

Research Activity Read information on posters Ask yourself: “How do I feel about whether styles of dress could provoke inappropriate behavior and / or cause unsafe environments?” Do you agree or disagree with this question? – WHY? – What democratic ideals does this address? This is your position statement
