Assessment Descriiption Content and project-based classroom events can be a fun

Assessment Descriiption
Content and project-based classroom events can be a fun way to engage students and involve families in their children’s education. Planning for such an event in your classroom is a big task and takes time, preparation, attention to detail, realistic and specific expectations, and practice.
Select a grade level 5-8 and outline a lesson that integrates social studies and the arts and turns the classroom into a living museum as an instructional activity. The outline should be learner-facing and appropriate to give to students and parents. Additionally, it must provide the rationale for the assignment, explain the requirements to successfully complete the assignment, and describe the expectations for presenting the living museum material to peers and families.
For this assignment, create your student-facing outline in one of the following digital formats:
Website landing page – You may use any website building tool, including a variety of free choices such as Wix, Weebly, or Google Sites
Digital presentation, such as Canva or Prezi
Digital pamphlet or one-pager
Include the following in the outline for the living museum activity:
A state social studies standard, an arts standard, and learning objectives.
Expected length of the project implementation and student preparation time. Include a brief calendar of key checkpoints for progress.
Descriiption of how and where the living museum will be presented, including how it successfully integrates two visual and/or performance art components (art, music, dance, drama).
Expectations for the student that clearly explain the requirements (i.e., select a historical figure that has had an influence locally or globally).
Descriiption of how students will present their living museum piece, both visually and physically.
Guidelines for students on using technology appropriately to find and use informational resources as preparation for the living museum presentation and how the use of technology can extend their possibilities for learning locally and globally.
The technological tools that will be used to share this event with the school, families, and the community.
Submit the link to your digital outline and resources as one document.
Support the digital outline with 2-3 scholarly resources.
Note: This assignment may be added as an artifact to the teacher toolkit you created in ELM-555.
While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
