My Students

National Geographic magazines are great don't get me wrong but they are about the only thing in my class library right now.

My 110 students love to read.

I work with a great bunch of bookworms who are deep into books constantly. My most common redirection isn't asking to turn in late work or to ask students to stop talking but rather put the book away. The kids would benefit from content specific reading material.

My Project

My students will learn to approach social studies from multiple areas. If I can build a class library that ranges from reference materials to historical fiction I can provide my students a choice to further their investigation of a topic. I recommend books often but wish I could let them browse a larger collection and let them continue at their own pace.

This project is important in order to strengthen the bond between social studies and language arts.

I teach my class in the spirit of interdisciplinary studies. I want my students to pull concepts from several content areas out of my class. This will project will help to place social studies on a level that serves a purpose in promoting literacy rather simply memorizing names and dates.
