Scenario

Imagine you are teaching an elementary social studies unit about your community. Your class demographic includes students who are native residents of your community, students who are foreign to your community, English learners, gifted students, and students with learning disabilities. 

As you think about what to focus your community unit on, consider the history of your town or community. What brought people to your town or community? What kept them there? What industries have prospered or failed since? What does your community’s Chamber of Commerce think the economic future of your community is?
