PS222Q Firefighter Christopher A. Santora School Grade 2
General Description of the Task:
In Unit 1 of NYC Passports to Social Studies, students have been learning about our government. Students have been learning more about the roles and responsibilities of local, state, and national leaders. In addition, these leaders are elected by the people they represent. Students learned more about the process of elections and the importance of voting through various resources. Students gained background knowledge by reading several informational texts. As a class we also read Grace for President by Kelly DiPucchio. In reading this text, students learned how the characters of the story were able to hold a school election through voting. Students also identified traits of the main character Grace, who campaigned in order to win the presidency. To further solidify their understanding, students also participated in a mock class election.
As a culminating activity, students used what they had learned through these lessons, various resources, and experiences to reflect on the question: How can we elect leaders for our communities? Students described and summarized the processes citizens would need to take in order to elect a community leader. Students used what they had learned about the roles and responsibilities of local, state, and national leaders to make connections. Specifically, text to text, text to self, and text to world connections and identified traits that leaders should have. Students have explained their thinking using complete sentences and through drawings.
