7. I identified most with the
vision of social reform. I
feel that for students
who are exploring
history all sides of a
story should be
presented.
8. The emphasis on positive and negative
happenings should be balanced in order to give
students a chance to develop a well rounded view
of the society they are living in and how it came to
be.
9. The view each student develops about their
society within a social studies class should be a
result of their own thinking.

11. Extracurriculars:
If there was a demand for a club based on any of my many
hobbies or talents I would be more than happy to assist.
My many hobbies and interestes include, knitting, baking,
sewing, photography, painting, woodworking, reading,
researching geneaology, traveling and more. Having a
baking or knitting club is very useful for social studies
students that fall under the vision of Social Reform. It could
be used to teach and help students help out in their
communities.
Volunteering to help with certain extra curriculars that
already existyearbook is definitely something I see myself
doing.
12. Suggested websites to help students introduce
new ideas and skills into their lives.

13. Appreciation
Students should learn to appreciate history and
old technologies such as photography. They
can learn a lot from looking at old photos.
