To a young student, school is a topic that they have background knowledge about and understand. Young children often have the misconception that the way they do things is the norm. Many believe if they go to school, learn or eat a certain way, then everyone else must be doing the same. This inquiry will help students discover how schools have evolved and changed, and it will encourage students to examine their own cultural practices with those within their community and around the world. Students will use the inquiry standards to ask and answer questions, analyze primary and secondary sources and evaluate those sources to make a claim using evidence. https://iowaculture.gov/sites/default/files/history-education-ghk-schools-manual-08.2021.pdf https://iowaculture.gov/history/education/educator-resources/primary-source-sets/schools-comparing-long-ago-today-and-other . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7beKoAwEZM .
