Welcome Teachers!

Welcome to the social studies blog. For this project, we will be doing a Great Depression activity. There will be 5 stations spread throughout your classroom. At each station, your students will do different activities while filling out a graphic organizer and discussing questions as a group. For more specific details, view the lesson plan here.

Here are a few suggestions before you get started:

• print off instruction cards on bright colored pieces of paper for each station and tell the students to read these cards before doing anything else at the station
  
• make signs to designate station numbers
• assign students to groups that will work well together
• try to assign no more than 6 students into 5 different groups (make adjustments as needed)
  
• print off enough graphic organizers for each student
  
• print off any supplies or documents (see the entries below) for the different stations
• collect any computers/laptops for each station (if possible)

Enjoy!
