Social Studies Strategies
In my student teaching placement we have two students that are in the deaf and hard of hearing room for scocial studies. The students were recently learning about different deographical areas. To help them to visualize these areas my teaching pulled out several different maps that showed different features. The students studied these while reading the book. They then filled out their own maps for practice. They filled out these maps several different times for practice and to use different styles of learning. I am sure this is a very popular method, but I also think it is a very important method for teaching.

Erin,
ReplyDeleteWhich grades are the kids in?
I think that is great that they had the maps while they were reading. It gave them something that they could relate the information to and find on the map. I am sure that this also helped them when filling out their own maps because they were familiar with the map. Thanks for the idea!
