�Social Studies have never interested me and so when it came to teaching and writing lessons, I was nervous that I was not going to interest the students because I was not interested my self. This semester I learned a lot about how you can make social studies interesting for your students. One activity we did was an interactive bulletin board. This had to be my favorite activity and it is a great way for students to test their social studies knowledge. Anther activity we did was gathered books on certain topics to show that you can really find a ton of books to use in your lessons. Another activity that we did that I really enjoyed was we designed a Document Based Question. All these ideas and activities that we did throughout the semester has really made me more confident about teaching social studies in the field.� |
