From
Global to City Air |
General Description
of the Major Project
In
language arts, students work with non-fiction texts analyzing
historical journals and literary
devices,
uncovering values and
beliefs held by the authors. Students also
learn to write formal papers for the official city
proposal as part of the major project. Finally, in social studies, students will learn about human settlement, city design and how physical systems impact human systems as they design and construct a scale model city conducive to air quality health. Introducing the project to your students: Students are introduced to the major project in the geography lesson, Dreaming of a Healthy City. Which lessons are central to the Major Project? The major project provides a forum for student learning demonstration on an environmental health or biomedical issue. Some lessons are more pertinent to the major project than others. The chart below highlights lessons we think are central to the major project either because they deal specifically with air quality or with presentation skills to different populations. Other lessons may be necessary to support these lessons. |
