The $1,000 grant was to support the first ONU Social Studies Day, that was held on November 11, 2011 (Veterans Day). over 100 teachers and students attended sessions during the day, including two classes from Piqua High School led by Mr. Dustin Hornbeck and a colleague from the school.
The next Social Studies will be held on April 13 and since this is an election year, as well as the first one that many high school students will be eligible to take part in, we plan to focus on that topic. Speakers from our department will talk about the historical nastiness of elections, the workings of the Electoral College, and provide a student’s view of the 2008 Democratic National Convention. We hope to give teachers a deeper background in their subjects and to provide students with a greater appreciation for the same. The day will start at 9:00 AM and conclude at 2:00 PM, with an hour break for lunch.
