This book is an interdisciplinary social studies curriculum unit for middle school and intermediate students that has been developed around hands-on activities to promote student participation. English/language arts, health, math, science, art, and physical education are interwoven with the organizing strand of social studies. In each lesson, the activity is linked with specific social studies content from one of the social studies disciplines. As the title indicates, history and geography strands predominate, but economics, political science, sociology, and other areas of social studies are included.
These supplementary lessons are neither ordered sequentially nor arranged chronologically. The material is organized by continent. The Western Hemisphere is the focus of this volume, which can be paired with the first book that covers the Eastern Hemisphere. Lessons include European Architectural Scavenger Hunt, Battles of World War II, Celebrating Carnival, and South American Biographies.
This curriculum unit complements the graded courses of study, K-12 scope and sequence models, and frameworks developed by states and school districts. It is user-friendly and designed to be easily adapted/tailored by the classroom teacher to meet student needs.
