Social Studies Can Be SPECtacular: and six more strategies for activating critical thinking and historical inquiry

by Anthony J. Fitzpatrick

The teaching strategies presented in this book allow students to learn substantive social studies content as well as historical inquiry. With the current push toward adoption of the Common Core Standards, these strategies provide not only teachers of social studies, but also teachers of Language Arts with the tools necessary to help students meet - and exceed - those standards. This book keeps the pedagogical jargon to a minimum, instead focusing on a conversational writing style and practical steps for classroom implementation.This is not a theory book, but rather a book of strategies derived from theory and classroom tested over the past 12 years.
