Think "fantasy football for social studies and literacy standards". It's a social learning game that follows countries and world leaders as they compete for news headlines. Teachers sign up, have a draft in class, and use scores and resources however they want. Students draft teams of countries, become more aware, and automatically score points every time their countries are mentioned in the NY Times. FGP engages students in the study of how politics, geography, humans, economics, and foreign policy interact.

An 85 page document that is a "road map" to one state's social studies curriculum. The 7th and 8th grade sections might make a good starting point for Arizona's standards, if they could bear to change what they have now.

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 13 Oct 12 - No Cached

What it is:  The Miniature Earth Project is a great website that poses the question: “what if the population of the Earth were reduced into a community of only 100 people?”  Based on this assumption, the site helps students understand what the breakdown of nationalities would be, religious representation, how many people would live in an urban area, how many people would have the majority of the world income, how many would live without clean world, those that live on less than $1.25/day, etc.  The purpose of the site is to break our quickly approaching 7billion people in the world down to a number (100) that we can more easily wrap our minds around.  The point of the site is to help kids (and adults) understand the real landscape of the world and cause positive action.
