Social Studies is a subject that always involved lots of projects and research when

I was in K-8! I remember doing lots of fun projects when it came to learning about the states,

such as creating flags, researching state animals, and state facts. I also remember going on

virtual tours on the internet through the different countries, and getting to pick my own

country and find a current event having to deal with that county. In my fifth grade class I told

to pick a country and bring a food from that country, I do not remember which one I picked,

but a boy brought cooked grasshoppers! Another fun project I remember doing was being

assigned a tribe, such as the Hopis, and doing research on them and then creating an

environment in which they would live in. A negative experience I remember was constantly

reading out of textbooks, and having to memorize a lot of vocabulary words. My experiences

did leave me with the feeling that teaching social studies is critically important. It taught me

about myself, others, my environment, and the world in which I live. If I didnt understand the

world and what I can contribute to it then I would being having a hard time living

independently like I do now.

NCSS THEMES THAT THANKYOU,MR.FALKER BY PATRICIA POLACCO FITS IN :

People, Places, and

Environments:

The book takes

place in a fewlocations around

the United States,

it goes through the

changes that Trisha

went through, and

the different

people she came

accross.

Time, Continuty, and

Change:

The setting of thisbook took place in

the 40s-50s.

past and how we

can understand the

human story across

time.

Individual

Development annd

Identity:

Trisha developedher identity

through the

experiences she

went through and

the different

culutures she came

across.

Personal Reaction to the book

I really enjoyed this book and I will definitely use this piece of literature to teach social studies,

special education, and bullying in my classroom. This story was very touching; it went through a lot of

emotions including: happiness, sadness, anger, frustration, and relief. The sad part about the reality of

this story, is that students are still treated the way Trisha was about her learning disability and their

stories dont always end with a happy ending. I could relate all ten NCSS themes to this book, but onlythree really stuck out to me!

How could I use this book to help me teach social studies?

Culture

studies, by

relating thedifferent

culturesmentioned in

the story.

Here is the assignment

completed in class for the

Tea with milk .


10/14

TEA WITH MILK What NNSC Themes does the book fit within? Why?

1. This book fits within Culture, because of Masakos culture in American andthan adapting to the Japanese culture in Japan.

2. This book fits withTime, Continuity, and Change as well. This book couldbe used to teach the history of the diversity of the cultures presented.

3. This book fits Individual development and Identity, because Masako findsher identity and is influences by everything around her such as the cultures,environments and institutions.

Personal reaction to the book.: I really enjoyed reading this book! It went through different emotions

such as happiness, sadness, frustration, and then relief. I think it was unfair to Masako to be forced to

move to Japan and adapt to their ways, after being so use to America.

Jot down some ideas of how to use this book to teach social studies to your future students: This book

could be taught to teach about cultures. It could be taught to teach about stereotyping as well. A teacher

could also teach about the female role expected in the Japan culture.

RESPONSE TO CHAPTER 1

Notes for Chapter 1:

Service learning helps to make decisions that have a real

outcome. Service learning differs from volunteer work and community

service, because it involves a much greater process and a deeper

understanding. There is more critical thinking involved.

Service learning will help me be a leader by being able to solve

problems, working with a team, and using my abilities through

helping others.

Service learning has been proven to be a great and valuable

teaching strategy.

The categories of service learning are direct, indirect, advocacy,

and research.

Enhanced

A music fest: Grade 3 is about third graders enjoying music, singing, and dancing

to different types of music with elderly people. I would definitely consider using this in

the future.

Welcome Buddies: Grades 9-12- I will definitely use this in the future, there's

nothing like being the new students at school and speaking a different language than

everyone else. This project is so helpful and very kind to new immigrant students!

The Immigration Experience-Seeing, Helping, and Telling: Grade 11- This project

involves using literature which is very helpful and engaging! I would like to use this in

the future.
