Integrating Language Arts And Social Studies

Integrating Language Arts and Social Studies: 25 Strategies for Inquiry-Based Learning focuses on social science techniques that integrate language arts with an inquiry-based approach to social science. Each strategy incorporates methods for meeting the needs of English language learners, as well as students with special needs. The text links instructional strategies to the standards, and provides concrete methods to successfully integrate language arts into the social studies curriculum.

Appropriate for courses in Elementary School Methods and Social Studies/Language Arts Methods.

Specifically, the book introduces language arts skills--listening, speaking, reading and writing--into social studies and literature situations that are based on meaningful content and students' own experiences.
