Description
Book Synopsis: Teaching Social Studies: A Methods Book for Methods Teachers, features tasks designed to take preservice teachers deep into schools in general and into social studies education in particular. Organized around Joseph Schwab's commonplaces of education and recognizing the role of inquiry as a preferred pedagogy in social studies, the book offers a series of short chapters that highlight learners and learning, subject matter, teachers and teaching, and school context.

- Summary of the task
 - Description of the exercise (i.e., what students are to do, the necessary resources, the timeframe for completion, grading criteria)
 - Description of how students respond to the activity
 - Description of how the task fits into the overall course
 - List of readings and references
