The gummy bears have taken over in 7th grade social studies! Students were given a government principle such as Rule of Law, Consent of the Governed, or Rights of the Minority and were tasked with creating a Gummy Bear diorama to represent them in action. This was a great way to track their understanding and to give them a chance to be creative in the process.
Great job, Mrs. Watson!
