This coming Thursday 5/29 marks the third annual History Bowl between the Phoenix and Fungi Social Studies classes. The Phoenix (that's us) is the defending champion and we intend to keep that title on our side of the 8th Grade hall. This week students are working collaboratively in their groups to better prepare themselves for the upcoming match. Skills like accessing previous knowledge and assigning work material in the groups will be the focus. Working collaboratively is a skill students and all adults need in this 21st century world where "no man is an island" J. Donne. The content material we are focusing on is as follows:
* United States and North Carolina Geography
* Native Americans (First Peoples)
* Basic American Government structures
* Early Colonial America
* Economic and Financial literacy
* Environmental literacy
The study guide and practice questions can be accessed on this site.
