  4. Agenda • Introductions- name game • Establishing norms for our classroom • Purposes of social studies education • Course overview/Syllabus/For next time & course materials • Activity

  5. Introductions: “Name Game” As a group- we will explore our names: What is your Name What does your name mean? OR How was your name chosen for you? What is your family’s cultural Heritage? What/where is “home” to you? Where do you imagine yourself living and working after graduation?

  6. Analyzing our observations What do you notice? What generalizations can you draw about our class? What are questions we might have posed before we collected the data?

  7. Establishing Classroom Norms – Think, Pair, Share • In pairs - generate a list of needs you have to work productively in the group – BE SPECIFIC (e.g., “act respectfully” is vague and doesn’t give us much guidance as HOW to act) • Offer one thing from your list to generate a list of classroom norms • Can anything be combined? • Post to our wiki- can revisit

  8. Citizenship as a purpose of social studies education • Individually – DRAW your idea of a model citizen and what he/she might look like, do, believe, stand for, etc. (and remember we are not focusing on your artistic abilities – stick figures are welcome here!) • On the back of the paper WRITE what you think model citizens know, do, and believe • Be prepared to share some ideas with the class

  9. Citizenship as a purpose of social studies education • In groups, think about what are characteristics of good citizens…think of someone you know who is a good citizen. What do they know, do, believe?
