DIRECTIONS

If you are ever waiting for a direction, please use PlaceSpotting by students, PlaceSpotting , Google A Day, or this Google Maps Scavenger Hunt or create a meme for one of our social studies topics from the year. (Don't search for the question or use a Google A Day answer site.)


1.  Discuss with someone near you what you will be doing in class today and why (see above).       1 minute
2.  You will speak from memory and not read. I do not expect a perfect product.  Create a 45 second oral summary of your topic, record it, and upload it to the Chapter Audio Recording folder in Google Classroom.  Use your phone if you are able to get it to the folder, otherwise use   https://vocaroo.com/          20 minutes

3.  Record a video of yourself explaining a topic listed below.      OR    Create a Google Drawing with a picture of you with a speech bubble (where you'll type what you would say) layered on top of an image related to what you "speak" about.          10 minutes
  • Explain how it is good citizenship to take care of the environment. Include specific steps you can take to take care of the environment.
  • Explain how it is good citizenship to be inclusive of all sexual identities. Include specific actions you can take to be supportive.
  • Explain how it is good citizenship to be concerned about animal welfare. Include specific actions you can take to be supportive.
  • Explain how it is good citizenship to be concerned about women's rights. Include specific actions you can take to be make sure women's rights are protectd.
  • For the picture of yourself:  https://online.photoscissors.com/

4. Listen to others summaries. Give feedback using the guidelines on the board.           10 minutes
