LEARNING SOCIAL STUDIES

Social Studies Learning Standards

The K-12 Social Studies Learning Standards consist of Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) and Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) that describe what students should know and be able to do in civics, economics, geography, history and social study skills.

Cooperative Learning- learners may then work collaboratively to solve problems using a variety of references sources.

If a unit has been initiated properly, pupils may have been challenged in the asking of questions.

Working on COMMITTEES can be beneficial for pupils since they may select the topic or problems they would want to work on most.

Using Filmstrips in Teaching Social Studies: Filmstrips can be used much like slides to initiate, develop and culminate a thematic unit in Social Studies.

Using Overhead Projector: Using information projected on the screen, pupils will say orally how the given figures differ from one another.
