Designing Assignments with CCS

More important than the resources, is the way assignments are designed.  An assignment that can be answered with a simple Google query is void of higher level thought.  Try posing your assignment in the form of a question that needs to be researched, an answer that needs to be found, or a solution that needs to be discussed:
  • How did conviction and sacrifices of individuals maintain the Union? [Abolitionists, soldiers, nurses...and more]  Support your view from primary source documents.
  • What would you invent to improve the world during the 1800s?  Support your view from primary source documents.
  • What would you plant in a greenhouse in China?  Support your view with credible science, social, and business sources.
  • How would you market a car during the industrial revolution? ~Prepared by Paige Jaeger
