Representation Of The Titanic In Children's Literature, Charity R. Huwe
The Councilor: A National Journal of the Social Studies

Primary source documents serve as a liaison to filing gaps in the information left out from textbooks and trade books.

The initiatives do not dictate specific curricular material; teachers use their discretion when choosing available trade books, primary documents, and other curricular resources. In …

These activities described in this article help students practice skills such as research and analysis as described in the C3 Framework. The necessary steps to …

Perspective Taking Through An Elementary Unit On Lewis And Clark, Ronald V. Morris
The Councilor: A National Journal of the Social Studies
The teachers showed the perspectives students acquired through reading and comparing narratives. Teachers helped students work toward the common good in a democracy by helping the student to examine perspectives. In their reading and writing, they developed rich background and content about the experience. When students studied these explorers, the students developed an empathetic understanding for the hardships and sacrifices madeby the Corps of Discover as they traveled on this expedition. Student interest and motivation flowed into this project because they felt the problems as their own; they, therefore, were interested when they understood what it meant and found …

In this article, the authors provide two ready-to-teach lessons plans that encourage perspective taking through research, critical thinking, and creativity. By asking students to view history through the eyes of the people who lived it, these activities help students think deeply and creatively about social studies content.
