Differentiated Instruction for Social Studies

Twenty lessons provide models of differentiated instruction. Attentive to visual/spatial, verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, musical/rhythmic, bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist learning styles and flexible in terms of grouping options, time needed, allowing multiple approaches, encouraging multiple perspectives, and promoting interest-based learning choices, the often-cross-curricular lessons address American and world history, geography, and civics. Among the lessons: ""A Medieval Fair,"" ""What Happened Here? - A Study of Genocide,"" ""Where Would You Place a Settlement?"", ""The Ellis Island Experience: A Simulation,"" ""History Hall of Fame,"" ""Demographic Statistics on African Nations,"" and ""The Powers of Congress."" Grades 58. JWW995.
