Example: Calibration Series (6–10 + Social Studies 6–8)

[rudi193-cmd]

Summary

• Adds Calibration Series (Social Studies, 6–8) — five-lesson history arc + teacher overview
• Showcase index at showcases/socialstudies-6-8/
• README example submissions table updated
• Also includes prior Calibration Series 6–10 example submission on this branch

Closes #3

Notes

Example submission for community review — not yet classroom-piloted. Parallels the Else/lighthouse calibration arc with a historical thinking / source-criticism lens.

Test plan

• Maintainer review lesson naming (socialstudies-6-8-*)
• Confirm showcase-only vs main README lesson table
• L02 storm story alignment with CS calibration series

Hey @rudi193-cmd, worked through the test plan items.

Lesson naming — looks good. The socialstudies-6-8-* convention is consistent with existing files.

README placement — both new entries are correctly placed in the showcase/community review table, not the main lesson table.

L02 alignment — the Else/lighthouse story is consistent across both the CS and Social Studies versions. The pivot differs by subject (AI pattern-matching vs. historical archive), but the calibration concept holds together cleanly.

Two things I want to flag before merging:

1. The CS file (cs-k12-the-storm-that-spoke-her-name.md) includes a disclosure section with research citations (RAND/JAMA Network Open 2025, Psychiatric Times 2025). Those have not been independently verified on our end. If this material is heading toward classroom use, those citations need to check out.

2. The CS file carries a note that L02 requires two human reviewers to sign off before classroom use. Can you confirm whether that gate has been satisfied, or whether this is still pending?

Happy to merge once those two points are clarified.

@castroquiles Tanks for the thorough test plan walkthrough.

On the citations: both check out. The RAND/JAMA Network Open reference is McBain, Bozick & Diliberti — "Use of Generative AI for Mental Health Advice Among US Adolescents and Young Adults", JAMA Network Open, Nov 3 2025 (DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.42281). The Psychiatric Times material is substantiated across at least two 2025 pieces on chatbot iatrogenic dangers, including Frances & Whiteside's "Making Chatbots Safe For Suicidal Patients" (Nov 18, 2025). I've read both — the claims in the disclosure section are accurate.

On the L02 two-reviewer gate: I have two people currently reviewing the material and expect to have their sign-off back this evening my time. You're more than welcome to add your eyes as well — the more the better for something heading toward classroom use.

Will follow up here once I have confirmation.

@castroquiles Human reviews have given a clean bill.
