Our Community: THINGS ARE JUST NOT THE SAME!

UNIT SUMMARY: Children are often under the impression that the way things are in their world is the way things have always been. It is important that children realize that, over time, things do change. It is also important that children recognize what influences change, including new inventions and changes in jobs, houses, and population. This unit will show Front Royal/Warren County from the past as well as what our community is like in the present. Using what we have learned, we will try to make predictions as to what our community will look like in the future!

HOW LONG WILL WE SPEND LEARNING ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY? This activity is a culminating activity for our unit on the study of Our Community and the Changes it has experienced over time. It is anticipated that the entire unit will take approximately 2 weeks to complete. The first week will be spent completing the whole group discussions/activities as well as small group discussions and activities. During the next week, the groups will complete their portion of the project. Therefore, 5 class periods of 45 minutes each will be used in preparation for completing each group’s part of the final project; 5 class periods of 45 minutes each will be used for the group to complete their assigned chapter of the book. An additional day to present our chapters before putting into the completed form will be used. Our final class projects (brochures and digital stories) will then be presented to the HJB Library.

Give students experience working collaboratively to accomplish a common goal Give students experience using available technology and practice with desktop publishing Give experience in collecting information (research) and communicating what they have learned in a form (ABC Book) that gives the reader information about our community over time To collect and analyze data/information and to work together to come up with a productive way to communicate the data/information to the readers of our book.

Request for Feedback: Websites to use Research resources Ideas for helping students take more responsibility for their own learning Organizing the groups into the most desired way to produce an ABC Book about our Community and the changes it has experienced over time.
