Social Studies Projects<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Kindergarten Family Trees Curriculum Project<\/a> -Kindergarteners have the opportunity to examine and compare family make-ups, cultures, traditions, etc through an interactive family tree project encouraging them to look at similarities and differences within their families and their peers’ families. By Alex Lesko & Alison MacDougall<\/li>\n
  2. Grade 11th and 12th: American Government<\/a> – In an American Government class unit on the Supreme Court, high school students will dive into the complexities of American National Government and Politics, with a particular emphasis on the Supreme Court and its landmark cases. Through interactive activities, research projects, and structured debates, students explore the structure and function of the Supreme Court, analyze the significance of landmark cases, and develop critical thinking and communication skills. With a diverse student body representing various racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, the course fosters inclusivity and cultural relevance. By empowering students to engage in informed civic discourse and reflect on the societal impact of judicial decisions, the course aims to challenge inequality and promote positive social change within their communities. By Tanya Surprenant<\/li>\n
  3. History of Colonization in America<\/a> – I have dedicated my curriculum project to educating the students of Hartford about the true history of the early settlers and colonization. Erasure of the Native American story and heritage occurs so often in history education due to an emphasis on the early settlers who “found America”. My objective in this curriculum is to give students the opportunity to view history from a wider lens and understand the connection between colonization and modern-day life that has changed daily life, and the way society views the history of America. By Ellie Gordon<\/li>\n
  4. Family Generations, Cultural Traditions, and Geography<\/a> – For this class the curriculum will be based upon facing inequality through cultural competence. Students will learn the importance of cultural identity while also learning valuable knowledge about themselves and the world around them. They will also be able to identify the countries they associate with on a map and recite some facts about the country. This will teach the students about the importance of accepting and learning about all cultures around the world. By Paige Kehoe and Claire Kennedy<\/li>\n
  5. Civil Rights Movement<\/a> – Engaging students with historical documents from the Civil Rights Movement offers them a unique insight into the events and personalities that shaped this pivotal era. By examining primary sources like speeches, videos, letters, and government documents, students can develop a deeper understanding of the struggles and triumphs of the movement. Incorporating lessons on how cultural identity shapes individuals’ interpretations of history will further enhance their learning experience. This component can encourage students to consider multiple perspectives and understand how personal and collective identities influence how history is seen and taught. By Caroline Nicholls and Lily Halpert<\/li>\n
  6. Making Cents of Money<\/a> – This curriculum project aims to show how the value of money is different across different nations. This project dives into different currencies, their exchange rates and how their values differ. This 6th<\/sup> grade lesson plan allows students to experience different types of money, and how these are used throughout the world.
