Part 1: Teaching Channel World Discussion 
For this week’s discussion, you will watch a 6th-grade teacher, Tracy Anderson, from England explore the topic of rationing food and other resources during World War II. Not only is she discussing world history, but she is also from another country which provides us with a new perspective to further analyze our own practices here in the United States. I added the video for this part in the files below. 
These are the questions I would like you to answer in your initial post:
How is this lesson used as an assessment tool? (2 or more sentences)
How does the teacher keep her students engaged? (3 or more sentences)
Part 2: Geography, Critical Thinking and Maps 
For this week’s discussion, you will read the article:
McCall, A. L. (2011). Promoting critical thinking and inquiry through maps in elementary classrooms. Social Studies, 102(3),
132-138. doi: 10.1080/00377996.2010.538759.
Answer the following questions in your initial post:
“Are elementary students capable of critically examining maps and other geographic tools?” (McCall, 2011, p. 134).
What is the purpose of having students create their own maps and compare them with those of other students?
Mention one piece of information that you learned from reading this article.
Part 3: Writing Prompt 
Prompt: First read “The Ebonics Controversy” by Curzan and Adams, then write a three to four paragraph response that addresses the following questions:
The article makes clear that as educators, you will be faced with two seemingly contradictory truths. First, scientific linguistic research clearly and unambiguously demonstrates that so-called “non-standard” American English varieties, such as African-American English, Chicano English, and Appalachian English, are every bit as rule-governed, consistent, and logical as Standard American English. Second, however, it is also undeniable that American society as a whole values Standard American English more highly than the other varieties; thus, being able to function in this variety is necessary for success in American academic and workplace settings. As an educator, how will you deal with students who come to your classroom speaking a variety other than Standard American English? What approach(es) will you take to help students become adept at Standard American English without stigmatizing their native variety?
When answering this prompt, be sure to reference the reading assignment. I added the article in the file below.
