Project Assignment from Ms. Roberts

The third graders will do their first project for social studies on community workers.  The project will be due on October 19 and 20.  Some students will present on each of those days  Please check your child's planner next week for his/her presentation day.

WORKING IN MY COMMUNITY

1. Students will choose a partner by drawing names out of a hat.  (Because there are 11 in each class, there will be one group of three.)

2. Students will choose a community worker.

3. Students are to research and find out what that worker does, what training is required for that job, and any other information about their community worker.

4. Each student writes four questions and answers about his/her community worker.

5. On presentation day, one person will be the community worker, and the other will be the interviewer.

6. Students may dress up for their parts.  One will dress as the news reporter, and the other will dress as the community worker.

7. Partners should practice their parts BEFORE presentation day.

Students will use computer lab time this week to research their community helper.
