Dear Parent,
As one of our educational activities for the end of the year, I will be showing a movie that draws on several of the historical events that students have learned about in Social Studies. This movie dramatizes key concepts and moments surrounding the creation of the United States. Viewing this movie will enhance your child’s understanding and retention of these key social studies concepts. Additionally, Common Core Learning Standards for listening comprehension skills require students to build their abilities to focus, take notes, and clarify their understanding of information.
The movie The Patriot will be shown during four consecutive class periods from Monday, June 18 to Thursday, June 21. Only age appropriate and historically valuable scenes will be shown; every effort will be made to ensure that this happens. Please fill out the bottom of this letter to show your approval for you student to participate in this lesson. Students who are not permitted to participate will be assigned to another classroom and be given an assignment to complete.
If you have any questions, I can be reached via email at ms.wholey@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Ms. Wholey
6th Grade Social Studies
I.S. 125, Henry Hudson Middle School
