Together When Apart: Week 1 Illinois Social Studies Standards


inquirED's Distance Learning Curriculum

Summary


In Week 1, students learn about historical setting by examining images of the past: a photo from the Library of Congress, a picture of a birthday party in Australia, a sketch by Vincent van Gogh.

Throughout the week, they use their learning to create a “Here and Now Snapshot." Their creation will serve as an artifact that tells the story of their experience during this unique period of time.
