Using NPR as a Model to Present Historical Information About a Major City<\/h3>\n

Students used an NPR article about “How Paris Became Paris” as a model; chose a major city in the world that also developed and expanded some time between 1500 to 1820; and created and presented their own article.<\/p>\n

Issues this Best Practice Addresses:<\/h3>\n

Finding good sources; Choosing topics of interest; Gathering facts related to the unit topic; categorizing information; displaying and communicating research in a creative and effective manner<\/p>\n

Major Challenges to Implementation:<\/h3>\n

Technology problems while presenting; meeting deadlines; finding enough sources; collecting all parts required on the rubric<\/p>\n

Benefits Derived from Implementing this Best Practice:<\/h3>\n

Sharing research with other students; comparing and contrasting topics; student choice; opportunity to emphasize skills sometimes not used very often in class; develop writing skills; mix social studies with other curriculum ie, Journalism and Art; explore creativity<\/p>\n

Evidence Illustrating Success:<\/h3>\n
