I chose Strategy 10 to adapt to a lesson. Although I am not in the classroom I decided I would use my previous experience and knowledge to adapt the lesson. I conducted my student teaching in a third grade classroom in North Carolina where the Standard Course of Study for Social Studies focuses on Citizenship. Strategy 10, Incorporating Service Learning, is about having students start a community service project which would be a great strategy to tie into citizenship. This strategy would be an asset to objective 1.01 identify and demonstrate characteristics of responsible citizenship and explain how citizen participation can impact changes within a community. Knowing the school I was in as well there are character traits that were emphasized every month that could be tied into the strategy as which traits are exemplified in chosen community service projects. Given that the character traits are taught throughout the grades this strategy could be used at any point during the year when objective 1.01 was covered. I would like to think that it would be done at the beginning of the year so that students would have the chance to actively particiapet in their service project for an extended amount of time and be able to see the difference they have made.
