Description
In the social studies classroom, multiple forms of communication
(oral, written, nonverbal, digital, and visual) are used to convey
ideas, foster self-expression, and build relationships. Social studies
teachers often use primary sources as evidence to strengthen content
comprehension and model the various forms of communication.
The purpose of this assignment is to explore how primary sources can be used to foster positive communication in the classroom.
In this assignment you will prepare a presentation for a group of
elementary teachers explaining how to use primary sources to strengthen
civics content comprehension while integrating communication skills in
the classroom.
Design an 8-10 slide digital presentation teaching your peers how to
incorporate primary sources and communication skills within the context
of teaching civics in the elementary school setting.
Within your presentation:
Describe instructional strategies that use primary sources to enhance civics standards-based instruction.
Explain how the use of primary sources can model and teach multiple forms of communication.
Provide two specific examples using two different civics standards of
varying elementary grade levels from your state. For each chosen
standard share:
- Aligned objectives.
- Instructional strategies that use primary sources and engage students in positive communication.
Be sure to include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
While APA format is not required for the body of this
assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations
and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines. Plagairsm free.
