On Friday, the Quarter 1 Project description and grading rubric was passed out. Be sure to look for it in your child's homework folder if you have not seen it yet!
This year in Social
Studies we will be studying all things Chicago. Each quarter will have a primary area of focus:
1.)
The early history of Chicago
2.)
Its development from a town of 350 people to its growth as a major city
3.)
The connection between Chicago’s history and the Chicago of today
4.)
Comparing Chicago and other global cities
The purpose of this
project is to give students the opportunity to learn about a famous Chicagoan
(either past or present) and discover his/her impact on the city. The project will have 2 parts, a
research report and a performance in the “wax museum”. Listed below are important due dates for this project:
