Description: "For too many years in too many classrooms, social studies has been something that is "done" to students - with no real bridge between students' experiences and the pursuit of social values and moral citizenship. With the publication of Social Studies at the Center, Tarry Lindquist and Douglas Selwyn change all that, providing students with opportunities to "do" social studies for themselves. They read, write, act, sing, dance, and draw social studies. They compare, organize, investigate, interview, and analyze social studies. They think and they reflect. But, most of all, they come to love social studies because in the process of studying content, they are learning more about themselves."--Jacket.
