Dear Concerned Parents,
This page is specifically made for you. Below is a breakdown of each of the three class assignments that your student will be working on for the next week and a half. I have great faith that all the students should be able to complete these projects with the assistance of their partners and groups as they work together. If any students seems to run into issues I have provided the information below so that you can assist in anyway that you would like to do.
Breakdown of the Class Assignment
For Activity #1 the students will have three days to complete the assignment (Monday-Wednesday). The first day will be researching and figuring out the cause and effects seen in the Constitution. This will be completed on the second day as a paper-based rough draft of the timeline is developed. The third day of this activity the students will have computer access and will work as a group to create the online timeline. If additional time is needed it may be completed during lunch, after school, or at home since the timeline is available from any computer.
Activity #2 will only be for two days (Thursday-Friday). After completing the cause and effect timeline the research of the Constitution itself and its key aspects will have already been completed. The pairs will then have the day to translate these important points into modern day English to make an updated version of the Constitution. The second day will consist of any alterations the pair feels they need to make to the Constitution. Any edits must be submitted along with reasoning as to why they were deemed necessary.
Activity #3 will last for an additional three days, possibly three and a half depending on how long the presentations run (Monday-Wednesday). The class will be assigned their new groups the preceding Friday after they finish they complete Activity #2. Over the weekend, their homework will be to research the possible current issues relating to the Constitution today. Monday they will meet as a group to decide what topic they would like to work on and then spend the class day figuring out the Constitutional relationship. Tuesday they will have the class period to develop a brief presentation or online book to explain the ideas that they came up with on Monday. Wednesday will be for presenting the classes current events. (Note: Groups will pick their current event and it will be announced what they are doing so that each group will do different current events)
Hopefully this breakdown has helped you to understand the work that your child is doing. I hope this will be both useful to you as well as your child.
