Secondary Social Studies Curriculum, Activities, and Materials.
Barth, James L.
Tested in secondary schools and college classrooms, these social studies activities illustrate an integrated social studies curriculum as advocated by "The Social Studies Curriculum Guidelines" of the National Council for the Social Studies. There are four major chapters dealing with (1) civics and U.S. government, (2) global and international issues, world history, and geography, (3) U.S. history, and (4) senior problems, values and issues, futures, and careers. Information provided for each of these four major areas of the curriculum includes topics taught and national trends; description of a typical course; and learning activities categorized by gaining knowledge, processing, valuing, and participating. Also provided for each chapter is an interest form asking teachers to identify two activities and briefly describe why they are of interest. Activities are varied and include classroom discussions; student research; analyses of political cartoons, newspapers and magazine articles, and political speeches; mock political conventions; oral reports; writing assignments; and simulations.
