Adaptations and Extensions

There are adaptations I would like to develop to give students opportunities to apply the skills and content knowledge they learn during the Unit.  I would like to choose the students that show an exceptional level of skill in articulation and debate in the Student-Court room to be part of a debate team and would like to nominate students who display leadership skills to be a part of creating a student council for the fifth grade as the upper level elementary school students.  It is more vital now than ever, that students in our communities begin to learn who they are and strive for excellence.  I am looking forward to implementing this Curriculum Unit that will not only be memorable but that will change my students’ lives by helping them discover who they are, what they believe and how they can impact the world around them.
