Progressive Ed Moments | Orchard Fourth Graders Present Social Justice Memorials To Their Classmates
"As a final performance task to fourth grade's second major unit of study, students completed a combined social studies, writing and reading project. During this project students researched a social justice leader. They had to look into the challenges they faced, how they stood up against injustice despite these challenges, and how their leader has even made an impact on today. Students prepared a multi paragraph speech to present to their classmates. To demonstrate their learning in a hands on, creative way students also constructed a memorial and plaque in honor of their chosen social justice figure."
