Improving Writing Skills in the Social Studies.
Seiter, David M.
Southern Social Studies Quarterly, v14 n1 p63-67 Fall 1988
Citing recent studies which decry the historical knowledge and writing ability of U.S. students, Seiter states that writing can be used to introduce more social studies content into the classroom--mainly by using primary/historical sources as the basis for writing assignments. Highlights several ERIC resources which deal with improving writing skills in the social studies classroom. (GEA)
