My Students

I am so fortunate to teach 7th grade Social Studies. I teach 5 classes a day; one class is an inclusion classroom. My students are at the perfect age to begin to make connections with the topics we study in class and the real world application. We study Civics, the branches of Government, Economics and Geography.

I have a handful of students that constantly ask questions about current events.

I look forward to these questions because it shows me that they are listening and sometimes not accepting what is presented. Also, this benefits the quieter students in the classroom because they might have the same question but are hesitant to participate.

My Project

In my classroom, I try to make history hands-on for all my students. I have many artifacts that I show my students but I feel that I can feature the items in a better way If I have a document camera.

By having a document camera in my room, I will be able to feature student work more frequently than I do now.

If a student has done an extraordinary job on a class assignment, I will be able to show off the their success immediately to the class. Also, I enjoy pulling current events from newspaper to add to my lessons. A document camera is a great way to add in these last minute articles to make my lessons topical. And lastly, the document camera would be amazing to illustrate to the students how to annotate passages to be active readers.
