Content Literacy
“Content Literacy is the ability to use reading and writing for the acquisition of new content in a given discipline.”
-McKenna & Robinson, 1990
![Page 5: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Our Purpose
To help effectively engageengage students with difficult content through the use of reading and writing strategies.
![Page 6: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why is Reading So Important in Social Studies?
• 85 to 95 % of the content addressed in social studies comes from the textbook
• We need to build background knowledge
![Page 7: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What do we read inSocial Studies?
• Newspapers, atlases, magazines, primary and secondary sources, and the internet provide readable, enjoyable content for the classroom
Why do our students have such a difficult time with these types of sources?
![Page 8: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Warning!
“If we simply assign reading instead of teaching students how to read, we’ll get poor reading.”
Gallagher, Kelly (2004). Deeper Reading: Comprehending Challenging Texts, 4-12.
![Page 11: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What Do Good Readers Do?
“Thoughtful, active, proficient readers are metacognitive;
they think about their own thinking during reading.”
Keene and Zimmerman, Mosaic of Thought
-----------------------------
We must help students learn to do this by assisting them in tracking their learning and thinking.
![Page 12: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Students Need Scaffolding
Do your students read and not “get it”?
• Have I given the proper level of support to make meaning?
• Did I anticipate the needs of the students?
• Have I supported this challenging reading assignment?
![Page 13: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Remember…
There is a big difference between assigning reading and teaching
reading. As their teacher, I am the determining factor when it comes to
how deeply my students will comprehend.
Gallagher, Kelly (2004). Deeper Reading: Comprehending Challenging Texts, 4-12.
![Page 14: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

What Type of Reading Do We Do in Social
Studies?
![Page 21: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Types of Selections
• Mostly expository
• Sometimes literary
• Lots of maps, charts, graphs, cartoons, graphic organizers, visuals
• Hopefully, documents, letters, biographies, news articles (past and present), etc.
![Page 22: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Reading & ELA TAKS contain three selections called a triplet:
• One is a published expository selection
• One is a published literary selection
• One is a one-page visual – all are related by a common theme or idea
Alignment with Reading & ELA
![Page 23: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is Expository Text?• Text written to inform, explain, describe,
or to persuade. • Text that is subject-oriented and contains
facts and information using little dialogue (Tonjes, Wolpow, and Zintz, 1999).
• The structure of expository text is dependent upon the form or genre (letter, journal entry, newspaper article, an editorial, a brochure, a map, etc).
![Page 24: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Types of Expository Text
Advertisements, autobiographies, biographies, book reports, brochures, campaign speeches, cartoons, catalogues, comics, complaints, definitions, directions, editorials, instructions, interviews, invitations, journals, lab reports, letters, lists, maps, menus, etc. Highlight the sources you use
most often in your class.

Chapter Tour
• When you take a tour of a museum the guide helps you to focus on what is interesting or important.
• Talk the students through the chapter. Provide enough direction and background so they can learn what is important in the reading.
![Page 47: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Chapter Tour
• Students are encouraged to look at the chapter to see the “big picture” first before tackling the details.
• Students are conditioned to make more systematic use of reader aids provided within a chapter.

Let’s Consult the Experts…
Open-ended questions focus on students' understanding, their ability to reason, and
their ability to apply knowledge in less traditional contexts.
Such questions can communicate levels of student achievement more clearly than multiple-choice items and give better
guidance for instruction.Badger, Elizabeth & Thomas, Brenda, 1992Badger, Elizabeth & Thomas, Brenda, 1992

Writing in Social Studies
• Open-ended questions assist us in working toward success on document-based questions for AP level work, for real life
• DBQs offer an authentic way for students to study multiple perspectives, strands, sources in one focused fashion

Using Literature in Social Studies
Strategy 2: Using Literary Elements & Analyzing Texts
![Page 66: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Literary Texts
• Help students understand the human experience across time and place.
• Help students read between and beyond the lines.
• Assist students in understanding figurative language, style, irony, point of view, and themes.
• Help students make a personal connection and build background.
![Page 67: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Literary Texts“Literature can become the lens throughwhich content is viewed. This lens holds the young reader’s attention while connecting content with the variety of human experiences.”
(Smith & Johnson, 1994)
– Fiction can help bring historical figures alive – Fiction allows students to explore the reality of life,
culture, and society in a given historical period. – Fiction helps to nurture student creativity and
imagination, leading to higher level thinking skills.
![Page 68: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Literary TextsThe benefits of using literature in social studies:• Reading increases vocabulary, including content-
specific terms• Literature is often more up-to-date than textbooks• Trade books may be more appealing than
textbooks• Literature goes beyond the facts• Literature allows readers to experience other
times, other places, other people, and other cultures with empathy
• Literature can be a powerful catalyst for thoughtful analysis and critical thinking
Alverman and Phelps (1998)

A pioneering journalist, author of fiction and poetry, and a professional lecturer, Frances Harper has had a remarkable life. Active in abolitionism, suffrage, and the temperance
movement, she lived long enough to see her efforts rewarded. She gets credit for
introducing the tradition of African American protest poetry. Famous during her lifetime,
Harper used her prestige and writings to fight racism and also make strong feminist
statements.
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911)

Writing in the Real World
“Writing gives students a chance to practice inferring, communicating, symbolizing, organizing, interpreting, linking, explaining, planning, reflecting, and acting.” Countryman, J. (1992). Writing to Learn Mathematics. Portsmouth, NH:
Heinemann.
![Page 91: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Another Writing Option for SS:
Mini Document Based Questions
![Page 92: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
What?Document-Based Questions require students to do the work of social scientists and historians. The materials of social scientists are the “stuff” of the DBQ. Documents may include: • graphs • charts • maps • cartoons • photographs • artwork • eyewitness accounts • historical passages
![Page 93: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Where?There are many sources for documents including:
• Textbook test creators• Primary source readers and websites• Archives and museums • The internet• Newspapers• Magazines
![Page 94: Reading, Writing & Social Studies Strategies to Improve Learning in Social Studies Presented by: Dana Kelley Region 10 ESC dana.kelley@region10.org 972-348-1148.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e2d5503460f94b1cae7/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
When & How?When preparing DBQs work progressively: • younger students generally work with fewer documents • more experienced students generally work with more
documents and engage in higher level analytical skills and more complex tasks
• It is imperative that students examine visual sources: charts, graphs, cartoons, photos - include two to three visuals
• Passage length is important. Readings should not be wordy or lengthy - if the passage is longer than one-third of a page, it probably needs to be shortened
• Where vocabulary is difficult, dated, or colloquial provide “adaptations” and parenthetical context clues.

How?The best DBQs center on issues.
Examples: • compare/contrast • illustrate similarities and differences • illustrate bias or point of view • describe change over time • discuss issues categorically: socially,
economically, politically • explain causes and effects of historic events • examine contending perspectives on an issue

• Always ensure quality of all visuals - must be clear, clean, readable.
• Begin the DBQ by stating directions.• Next state Historical Context - represents the theme
of the DBQ as it applies to a specific time and place in history
• State the task - directs students to: – write the essay – interpret and weave most of the documents into
the body – incorporate outside information – write a strong introduction and conclusion

How Can We Scaffold? Scaffolding questions are key questions included after each
document in the DBQ.
• They lead students to think about the answer they will write • Provide information that will help students answer the main
essay question
Good scaffolding questions: • are clear and specific • contain information in the stimulus providing a definite
answer to the question • There is at least one scaffolding question for each document.
However, if a document provides opposing perspectives or contains multiple points, two questions are appropriate.

The Importance of Using Documents to Study History
“Document based questions (DBQs) are a major focus in schools today. To be answered correctly, students must be adept at analyzing and synthesizing the information provided. They must be able to write coherent and logical essays.”
