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: Reading/Writing Assignment 5
Prompt: First read “Program Models for English Language Learners” by Wayne E. Wright, then write a three to four paragraph response that addresses the following questions:
The article describes five different bilingual models and four different English-medium models currently in use for ELD students. Discuss the merits of the various models, then make an argument for the model(s) that you feel would be the best fit for the school system where you hope to work in the future. 
When answering this prompt, be sure to reference the reading assignment. I added the article in the file below.
