EDU-768 Social Studies Inquiry: Content Area Reading and Writing (2)

This course engages participants in the inquiry process as learners. Participants apply this process as they design and plan a thematic social studies inquiry unit that supports students in becoming agents of change in the communities in which they reside through historical, cultural, political, and geographical exploration. Specific attention is given to developing rigorous and meaningful units of study to support students in developing relevant content knowledge through multimodal texts using content area and disciplinary literacy practices. Participants utilize their understanding of literacy practices from previous coursework and social studies methodology to support students in achieving the goals of this unit of study.
