Social Studies News: Week of 3/21

This week in Social Studies we'll be breaking (for the most part) from our current unit on Ancient Greece to focus on current events--in particular the election.  Since the Wisconsin primary election is the Tuesday after Spring Break, and we'll be having a Middle School-wide Primary election, we're going to spend some time next week researching the candidates and their position on some of the main issues.  Students will be preparing Google Presentations or papers on their selected candidate.  This will enable students to be able to make an informed vote on primary day!
