Based on the highest levels of Bloom's taxonomy, The Social Studies Helper easily integrates technology into every core high school social studies course as well as two electives. These creative assignments are designed to appeal to visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles as the students are immersed in research, role-playing, art, etc.
This is the resource book that you will turn to again and again throughout the school year. The Social Studies Helper is all the help you'll need, with innovative activities and projects, along with their rubrics and handouts, that are ready for use.
As a tenth-grade special educator, I found the activities and projects to be engaging, thought-provoking and motivating. Global History, as World History is called in New York State, remains one of the most difficult subject areas that students must master. Having a resource such as this will allow students an opportunity to connect to the text.
