Childern in Poverty

Take a moment as you are sitting in your seats to think roughly ten years into your future. You are sitting in your classroom and there is a child sitting there, getting bullied because the child is not as fortunate as the one doing the act of bullying. Now, think about how that child's background is affecting their whole life and basically framing it without them even getting to have a say in what happens day to day. Even year to year. Will they succeed and go to college? Will they drop out and stay at the same social class level the rest of their life? Well, there is something that should be is clearly showing through as you read that, and that is children living in poverty. Child Poverty will forever affect people all over our country whether you are living in poverty, or not. This plays a key role in the rest of our lives, because as future teachers we have to know and understand this will be something we have to become adjusted to. Children may not have certain opportunities due to the fact that they are living in poverty, and it is your responsibility to see they earn and work towards getting those opportunities you know they need and deserve.

In this WebQuest, I am asking you to open your mind to a new idea. I believe that a lot of you will not know the correct information or you do not know much information involving children in poverty. I want to give you options for you to learn more about this topic before you go into the world of education.

In the next tab PROCESS, you will go through a journey being a little child living on the streets of New York City. I will be asking you to use your imagination a little because we will be jump timezones with history, court cases and policy. Through this journey you will learn about history, you will be going and sitting in court cases of different eras, and learning about basic information and policies that affect children today.

We will apply that information you learn by having you answer questions. Throughout the journey there will be websites and steps for you to follow to complete the questions.

This is how you will submit the Quiz:

1. One person from your group - make a word doc OR google document (any document you can send to me)

2. Make a unique team name for your group

3. Put your team name AND all the members of your group FIRST and LAST NAME

4. Label the doc “Children in Poverty Quiz” as the title

5. Number 1-13 on the document

6. Complete the the questions as followed

7. Please send them to “rnauta@kent.edu” and put the subject as Child Poverty Quiz - “team name”
   

    At the end of the webquest, I hope you get more information on children in poverty and try to understand what they’ve gone through. In schools, teachers need to know what could be happening with our students. As a teacher, you need to know every possible outcome because everyday is different with students and children. You never know what information you need to help a child.

No matter where you are in five, ten, or even fifteen years children living in poverty will continue to be an ongoing issue in the classrooms. This affects the students in ways that people do not even think of, like bullying. Sure, you will have the very fortunate students, but you will also have the students that are waiting around to see what their life will be like and if they will ever genuinely get through school to graduate. Some children living in poverty do not have parents that graduated, so their children do not have that typical support system others may have. Hopefully, by going through this webquest you know have a better understanding of the severity of this situation that goes on throughout our country. Often times people do not realize the how this negatively affects how their mental health and ability to perform better in schools. Next time you are sitting there, think into the future and how you could play a key role in the success of a child that just needed that extra push in the right direction. They could make something amazing out of themselves and change their lives (and their families lives) forever.
