The Land of Hope: Third-Grade Students Use a Walking Tour to Explore Their Community
Morris, Ronald V.
Social Studies, v97 n3 p129-132 May-Jun 2006
Teachers use a number of instructional strategies to help students develop citizenship skills and learn state and local history. In many communities, teachers include field trips and walking tours to help students learn more about people. In this article, the author describes how third-grade students learned from older students and from their teacher as they took a one-day walking tour of the town of Hope, Indiana, visiting the town square, the local history museum, and the cemetery.
