White & Blue Lessons and the Core Democratic Values
Song packets (COMBO) integrate the historical perspective and civics strategies found in the Michigan Social Studies
Curriculum Standards & Benchmarks. With the core democratic values used as patriotic lessons, a Powerpoint slide show, student booklets, and the complete Core Democratic
Values Song materials, you can give your students a wealth of material to more easily understand the democratic principles of America.
These COMBO lessons include role-playing fun, American songs and speeches that explore the meaning of each of the core democratic values : Patriotism, Diversity, Equality, Truth, Common Good, Popular Sovereignty, Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness and Justice. Students play famous Americans such as Betsy Ross, Rosa Parks, Abe Lincoln, George W. Bush and Martin Luther King Jr. and sing a dozen traditional patriotic songs (God Bless America, Yankee Doodle, This Land is Your Land, We Shall Overcome, Star Spangled Banner...and more) as well as the Core Democratic Values Song. It's a learning "experience" designed for second through sixth graders! So, why purchase the COMBO? It's helpful having the Combo Set because you receive an overhead transparency and student song sheet template for the Core Democratic Song, along with the CD. This allows you to get your students learning the Core Democratic Values Song right away, and work your way into the other Red White & Blue lessons highly recommended. Note: Additional student books must be purchased separately, they are not included with the COMBO, but the song sheets may be copied for each student. |
