Standard 6: Middle level teachers understand, value, and integrate literacy skills (i.e. reading, writing, speaking, and listening) into all content areas.
As a Social Studies teacher, it is important to have the students critically think about events in history. The best way to do that, is often by way of a writing sample. Accordingly, an integrated lesson plan is included below to demonstrate how I incorporate language arts curriculum in my lessons. The writing samples vary from the one below, to journal entries, to research papers to persuasive letter writing. Additionally, we frequently read a variety of primary and secondary sources as well as argue the various sides of the many conflicts in history. Thus, literacy skills are a key component of practically every lesson I teach.
