Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach a spirited bunch of sprightly sprats who are in recovery from the horrid Hurricane Harvey.
My students are inquisitive, energetic and eclectic learners.
Pre-existing lower income and socio-economic demographics are considerably aggravated by the floodwaters of natural disaster. Nevertheless, on their first day returning to school, students were eager to learn and divest themselves of previous woes. This funding opportunity will help replace some supplies and bolster their equitable access to education that connects them to a global community of learners.
As a social studies teacher, I merely seek resources to support students in such a direction to diverse the learning process and opportunities.
My Project
Social studies is one of the most elusive subjects for students to comprehend due to its abstract nature. As such this project will allow students to become builders of their own civilization with characteristics of actual historical figures, and a variety of ways to succeed as a builder of societies and civilizations.
In order to bring Sid Meier's Civilization V into the classroom and bring social studies alive, we need computers with Windows OS to install and run the gaming platform.
Please help to game-ify our classroom with one of the most successful game franchises that can be applied to a social studies classroom, Sid Meier's Civilization V. Since 1991 Sid Meier's Civilization games have been exploring fundamental social studies concepts, including all 10 themes of the National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies, e.g. culture; change and continuity over time; people, places, and environments; and several others.
