In Social Studies, you learn how civilizations change because of things that happen in the world around them.
In our everyday life, you experience a change from elementary to middle school.

Technology

I heard a quote today that started me thinking deeply: "I know what life was like B.C....before computers." The person sharing this idea has been a teacher for 41 years.

Prompt:
What will life be like for students 40 years from now? What kinds of technology will they be using?

Make a list, draw a picture, or write a paragraph about your IDEAS.
