Ms. McAndrew's 7th grade social studies class.....
In an attempt to understand the levels of government and
how much we are affected by government in our daily lives, 7th grade
students were sent on scavenger hunts.
The objective was to take an empty gift bag and find 10 items at home
that
are connected to or influenced by one of the 4 levels of government. For
example
a stuffed Mickey Mouse would be an example of the National level because
of
trademark laws and state because of sales tax.
The pictures show students preparing to explain and defend their
choices.
Students were surprised and how often they were in contact with one or
more
levels everyday.
Above is 7th graders Nina Francisco, Antonio
Costa and Colleen Kelly.
