This project has been designed for digital completion. It is a cross-curricular unit, focused on teaching and researching Pandemics. The focus is on the history of Pandemics, Coronavirus, personal reflection, as well future Pandemic planning. Students will complete multiple different assignments for their content teachers. For the Math project, the focus is on creating graphs and tables with Coronavirus case numbers around the world and in their particular state. From those tables, they will write a brief reflection and analysis of that data. The Science portion has students researching the history of Pandemics, a past Pandemic, Coronavirus, and creating and hypothesizing solutions for the virus. Social Studies will be tied into this portion of the project for fact-checking and research strategies. The Social Studies and ELA portion of the project is creating a Newspaper on the Pandemics, Coronavirus, and their personal experiences throughout this Pandemic. The research from their Math and Science portions of the project will assist them in the writing of these articles. They will be graded on their research, critical thinking, and writing skills for this portion. Rubrics have been included for each assignment. Generic resources and websites have also been include, at the end of the project, to assist throughout the project. This could easily be uploaded to Google Classroom or split across a team, during digital learning! It could also be used for a distance learning, group project!
Note: For the Newspaper Article, I used the template offered on TPT by Circle Time with Ms. Fox. I edited it to fit this particular project, but it saved me time from having to do it myself.
