Mapping Curriculum
Week
1
Friday, July 15; 9am-12pm (play monopoly/history of
copyright)
Week
2
Prep:
prepare for Friday's session by taking stats on your block: how many lots, how
many lots have houses, how many are vacant? how many houses are vacant? In
other words when home, take a moment to look around and assess the real estate
potential as if their block was a monopoly board... Either count one by one or
just eyeball for a guesstimate.
Friday, July 22; 10am-12pm (what properties to put
on our monopoly boards; discuss role of revision)
Week
3
Monday, July 25; 9am-12pm (Hall of Records visit)
Wednesday, July 27 11am-12pm (Currently free-space
but would perhaps like to do a follow up from Monday’s field trip to Hall of
Records on the research and how to present it. Otherwise there is a long gap
between the research on 7/25 and what we plan to do with it on 8/5.)
Week
4
Friday, August 5, 10am-12pm (discuss how to present
research--what is the project of Monopoly--what is our project--do we want to
challenge/complicate value system at work in Monopoly? How to do that in form
and content?)
Week
5
Friday, August 12, All Day Field Trip to Atlantic
City

6
