ROLES,
ROLES, ROLES
What does
that mean? Students, via class
discussion, will determine the meaning of roles. DOK#1

As a big,
bad, 6th grader you are going to do some comparing and contrasting. What is your role in your family? What chores do you do? Do you have a paying job? What clothes do you
wear (the styles you wear the most)? DOK#2
Now, let’s
compare you to your long ago ancestor, a boy or girl your age back in
1800. What was their role in your
family?
Make a chart
comparing your clothes, chores and paying jobs to that of your ancestor in
1800. DOK#3
Who has a
better life? Why? If you could time travel back to 1800, would
you?? Why? DOK#4

Again, this
is all about research in the library. In
this case the bulk of the information can be located in book form using the
card catalog. Students will demonstrate
proficiency in the use of the card catalog and the non-fiction books they
locate (emphasis on using the index…..the theme of the 6th grade
library unit). If needed online sources
using the Ebsco Host Web may also be utilized.
Again, I like that you've set a very specific time for the comparison, rather than generalizing to "the 1800s". You might think about whether you need to specify a place, or else require the students to identify the place based on the sources they used.
ReplyDeleteCan 6th graders start to understand the idea of class? That is, can they understand the difference between someone living on the frontier in 1800 versus a merchant's child in Philadelphia versus a laborer's child in Philadelphia?
