Project-Based Learning in Social Studies
Description:... Project-based learning is a teaching method that encourages students to expand on what they learn in class through engaging, investigative projects. Through examples of projects to explore critical periods of U.S. history, this series teaches readers how to use real-world tools, skills, and tasks to answer key questions related to their favorite social studies unit. Furthermore, each book shows readers how to engage in the process of sustained inquiry. Not only will students learn how to approach and solve problems, but they'll also learn how to prepare displays or presentations to share their discoveries with teachers and peers. Features include: Provides a number of hands-on projects in line with project-based learning, an emerging trend in pedagogy. Subjects correlate closely to state social studies curricular topics on U.S. history. Connects school projects with practical, real-world skills that readers can apply in their community.
