6th Grade Social Studies
The way I teach history is to allow the students to construct their knowledge regarding the topic using available resources. As their teacher, I am more of a facilitator, using scaffolding, modeling, and creating rubrics to guide them. I like to integrate as much technology as possible into the projects that students are working on using as many options as available for students to obtain the necessary information. I would rather have students create their PowerPoint presentations than to sit in their seat and watch the one that I created. When students are motivated, the teacher has less discipline problems, and learning is accomplished.
Below are a few examples of projects that I have guided students with in the past.
