In this resource for K-12 teachers of social studies, Tate, an educational consultant, presents numerous activities and sample lesson plans designed to reinforce the 10 major themes of social studies found in the national curriculum standards given by the National Council for Social Studies. Activities are grouped into chapters on 20 general strategies, such as artwork, field trips, games, humor, manipulatives, music, movement, storytelling, technology, and apprenticeships. Each strategy chapter begins with an overview of the research and theory associated with that strategy and why it works to help students learn, then offers many activities for different grade levels.
