Description

This course integrates writing and social studies for middle grade learners and prepares middle level educators to plan stand-ards-aligned social studies instruction. The course focuses on social studies teaching at the curricular and instructional levels with intensive writing instruction connected to the kinds of writing tasks middle grade learners will have to perform in high school and beyond. Students will learn research-based instructional techniques that support middle level learners in develop-ing disciplinary writing and literacy practices while learning content. Students will learn how to develop, implement, assess, and modify curriculum lessons and implement various strategies for writing across the curriculum and responding to nonfic-tion texts. (New Course Fall 2014).
