Teacher’s Ideas:
The Mega Penny Project is our attempt to engage the students in developing an understanding and appreciation of Democracy. We will explore how democratic principles and ideals are reflected in the students efforts to participate in the process of choosing a charity to donate the money we collect to. Hopefully we will instill in the students the belief that participation in the democratic process by citizens can effect change in their communities.
We will use the project to engage the students in activities in Math, Science, Social and Language Arts.
If you have any questions or comments please forward them to me.
Thanks, B. Roberts
