October/November Social Studies



What Are Your Rights?

In this unit, students will be making judgments about texts and writing to explain and support those judgments.  They will also be engaging in conversation (small group and whole class) about their thinking.  As they write about their thinking, they will be reminded of the importance of supporting their claims with evidence and explaining their thinking as clearly as possible. 

Students will read the Bill of Student Rights and other topics that pertain to issues relevant to their lives.  During class discussions, students discuss the following:

How do these rights and responsibilities affect you?
How are these rights and responsibilities similar and different from those stated in the Bill of Rights?
Should this conflict exist?  Why or why not?
