The main objectives of this project are to have the sixth grade students participate in the democratic process at all levels. The students are to demonstrate cooperation through group particpation, management, and problem solving while maintaining their own individuality. They are also to exhibit effective time managment and organizational skills to adapt to varying conditions.
All groups equally share the tasks and work together as a group.
In Language Arts the students design a brochure that includes facts about the city, such as the name, population, elevation, map, school population, history, special events, and tourist attractions. The attractions should be in the appropriate location within the city. Correct sentence structure is checked. Each group member writes at least one article with a by-line. In Math they make pie graphs that are creative and attractive using percentages that shows revenue and expenses.
