Climbing Mt Everest

The activity we did on climbing Mt Everest was a very creative way to help students learn social studies.  While in the classroom I had to do an Attitudinal Survey before teaching a lesson for Ms. Dosser.   I was integrating social studies into my lesson so one of the questions was "Do you like social studies?"  The data showed that not many students liked social studies.  This was due in part to the fact that social studies is rarely taught in this classroom.  Using story path, box city, and other interesting activities is a very good way to raise the interest level in your students.
