Use the Literacy in Social Studies Materials Review Rubric to evaluate your curriculum and inform future decisions. By combining key literacy skills with geography, civics, history, and economics in a social studies instructional block, students develop literacy through:
- Analyzing multiple, diverse sources and making inferences
- Researching and writing evidence-based arguments, while actively engaging in feedback and revision processes
- Engaging in rich discussions and presenting research-backed ideas
- Building academic and content-specific language in context
