The purpose of this blog is to provide teachers with artifacts so that teachers can create democratic students. One important reason for teaching students social studies is to ensure that students are learning and are thinking critically. As a future teacher, I believe that is crucial for teachers to facilitate an atmosphere where democratic understandings are used to develop students to become rounded members of the world around them. This blog will consist of three different social studies strategies that promote higher order thinking and critical thinking. This blog can also help teachers use strategies to improve critical thinking and encourage students to the next level of understanding.
