I specifically enjoyed learning about different ways to connect students to social studies by using vocabulary. I don’t ever remember doing anything other than looking up/defining terms. I love the idea of using graphic organizers, focusing on just a few key words, and making it fun. I think this will really help the students grasp and retain the information, along with hopefully getting excited about it as well.
I am very interested in discovering more ways to incorporate creativity into my lesson plans such as the examples in our book, and the activities we did in class tonight. I am wondering where I can get my hands on more creative lesson ideas?!
