Social Studies Portion of the Rock N Roll Project for 8th graders
On April 23rd 8th grade social studies students were introduced to the Rock N Roll Project by Pam Merz.
On Tuesday 24, and Wednesday 25, Jen Davis were given instruction on how to conduct research.
On Thursday the 26th students will choose their song.
Friday will be the day that all students will be finished choosing their song.
Upon knowing their song our 8th grade social studies students will be asked to find facts about the following:
3 Maine Facts
3 US Facts
3 World Facts
Within these 9 facts one of the facts has to be about science, one about math, and one about a Spanish speaking country.
Also include a slide for each of the following:
*On TV show
*A celebrity who was born that year.
*Prices of common items such as:
milk, bread, eggs, gasoline, sneakers (all on one slide)
All facts need to have sources listed on bottom of the slide page.
Each fact needs to be put on one key note slide each with no timing sequence and no transitions. Just one slide for each fact.
The facts must be from the year the song was first performed or within two years before or two years after the year the song was first performed.
For instance 1958, 1959 1960 1961, 1962
Each fact needs to be put on one key note slide each with no timing sequence and no transitions. Just one slide for each fact.
12 slides in all. No more than three colors on the page.
