What we know about Mrs. Southard - DreamExtreme Student DBQ:
Mrs. Christine Southard is a caring, kind, helpful, hard-working, active, technology-using 5th grade inclusion teacher in the Herricks Union Free School District in New Hyde Park, New York. Communication is important to her, and she enjoys working with other people. She has a family and it is important to her to be prepared for the needs of life. She recently earned a degree and the education of herself and her students is a major part of Mrs. Southard’s life.

We know that Mrs. Southard is caring, kind and helpful because document 3 – her ID badge – and document 5 – her business card – show she works as a 5th grade teacher in an inclusion classroom. Document 10 – a Professional Ski Instructors of American card – shows that she is a ski instructor with the Adaptive Sports Foundation. Since this foundation works with people with disabilities, we believe that Mrs. Southard values helping other people.

We know that Mrs. Southard is hard-working because document 1 – a photo of her in a graduation cap and gown with her husband and daughter – shows that she put effort into completing her degree. Document 10, the ski badge, and document 6, a pair of sunglasses, tell us she enjoys being active and outdoors.

Mrs. Southard enjoys using technology communicating with others. We know this because document 3, a Flip video camera, document 2, a cell phone, and document 9, an iPod Touch, all show us that staying connected is important to her. She also has a degree in Educational Technology as shown in document 5, the business card. That also shows us that she uses technology in her work as a teacher. The cell phone, video camera and iPod Touch all can also be used to communicate and include others in what she and her students do in the classroom.

Document 1, the photo of Mrs. Southard with her husband and daughter, help us to know that she has a family and she earned a degree some time not too long ago. We know this because she is wearing a graduation cap and gown in the photo. Also, she looks similar in the photo to how she does on her ID badge – document 3 – so we don’t think graduation photo was taken very long ago. The graduation photo and all the information listed on the business card – document 5 – help us know that educating herself is just as important to her as giving a good education to her student.

Finally, we know that Mrs. Southard likes to be prepared for the needs of life. Documents 4 – the credit card – and 8 – the money – show us that she wants to be able to pay for things if she needs to. Also the cell phone, document 2, and iPod Touch, document 9, can help keep her up to date on important events and situations.

These documents all work together to help us know more about Mrs. Southard and how she is a caring, helpful, connected, and well-prepared 5th grade teacher in New York. We think she knows a lot and works hard to help all of her students learn a lot and do their best.
