“Connecting Themes Used in Seventh Grade Social Studies”
1. Find pictures in magazines that illustrate the enduring understandings and glue them down.
2. Type your enduring understanding and # on your project.
3. Write a response explaining how your picture(s) relate to your EU. Then try to relate the EU to you and your life.
Sample Written Response• My enduring understanding states that CULTURE is a
product of religion, beliefs, customs, traditions and government. In my picture, Jacob Black cut his hair short, got a Quileute tattoo on his shoulder and ran around half naked. This was all part of his Indian tribe’s traditions. You can see that they all look the same from their clothes, to their hair, to their tats and abs.
• In my culture, we don’t run around half naked. We wear jeans, plaid, t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, tennis shoes, boots and much more. We all also have different styles and color of hair. We all don’t look
the same either. However, some
people have tats but they are not all
the same.
