Thoughts from 335• As a teacher, based on your own
interest, background knowledge, and stance on citizenship education, [you] must decide which specific outcomes are the most relevant in teaching social understanding and civic efficacy
» Daniel Lemieux

Thoughts from 335• As teacher we must consider two
key points: what is my purpose for teaching a selected idea or content; and what value does it have for my students

Review what has gone on before and what is to follow
p.129 • Scope: a deeper treatment of a
few topics, or a broader coverage of a larger number of topics
• Sequence: the order in which knowledge, skills and attitudes are to be taught

• …focusing on a few ideas in detail and making sure that there are connections made between those ideas and the children’s life experiences is how the brain learns best (p. 129)
• Meaningful

1. The Textbook…removes the decision about what
content is most important to be taught in social studies from you as teacher by giving it to the author of the text (p. 129)

2. Expanding Horizons(spiral)
• …begins with examples from the child’s local environment [and] then expands outward…from simple to complex, from familiar to unfamiliar, and from the known to the unknown (p. 130)

[But]…children are in fact able to conceptualize, fantasize and make mental models of what they may never have experienced before (Egan, p. 130)
