Task #1 Chapter 4 Schell & Fisher's Teaching Social Studies: A Literacy-Based Approach

In this task #1 If I were to use the author's discussion of topics, themes, concepts, and big ideas then I would do it as such.  I would use the Murfreesboro Fisherys( Williams Fishery) and the people who with the help of their family made an idustry which changed the area.  I would use the people and their culture and the ideas of the historical roots that were set by those people that made their living through the Fishery and the way that they had the help from their family and it changed their way of life and had to support their living from their ability to use the fish from the Chowan and Meherrin Rivers.  The people not only used the herring to live but, it changed the area as we know it now.  The industry changed as the amount of herring depleted and many of the Fisherys could not support the Eastern North Carolina herring supply for supply and demand.  The herring disapeared and therefore the environment changed  and now we can look at the past and see how cultures and people and places are products of their surroundings.
