Teaching Social Studies Online
Social Studies lessons revolve around sources. Put a source on the shared screen and annotate it with a writing tablet or an iPad with a pencil, picking out its message, purpose and reliability, then mark your student's answer the same way. Lessons are usually 1.5 or 2 hours, and each assignment opens with a trial class.
At G2, candidates type their Social Studies answers in a digital answer booklet, so add some timed, typed practice once your student is confident with the question types.
