Be a Rebel
Description of Lesson
|
In this lesson students will be writing a persuasive
paper about a form of government that they would like to overthrow and why
they would want to overthrow that type of government. The students will have
to also choose a type of government that they would like to put in place of
the government that they are going to overthrow. This lesson will be done in collaboration
with the English teachers. Grading on this project will be done by both the
Social Studies teacher and English teacher. The grade will be based on a 100
point scale where 50 percent of grade comes from content of the paper (graded
by Social Studies) and 50 present of the grade comes from paper format and
grammar (graded by English). Through this lesson students will learn how to
research and write a paper. The students will also further their knowledge of
the different forms of government.
