This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
There is very little funding for gifted education in Alabama. The materials we are able to purchase come from out pupil supply allocation which is often spent to cover cost of testing supplies to identify children in the gifted area. While the school in which I am housed has a library, there are not near enough resources for the unit I wish to teach.
My project is called "Time Trek." Students will travel back in time through a concept-based curriculum unit on the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Rome and China. Students will look through these civilizations through the conceptual lenses of culture, conflict, and identity.
Students are usually not taught history in their classes using this method. Scholars say that teaching history to kids has many important benefits. History provides
identity. Studying history improves our decision making and judgment. History shows us models of good and responsible citizenship. History also teaches us how to
learn from the mistakes of others. History helps us understand change and societal development. History provides us a context from which to understand ourselves and others.
By funding this project, you will make it possible for my students to have print resources that would not be normally available to them.
