Product Description:
Good Social Studies skills require analysis, and developing thought-provoking questions to help students analyze reading can be tough. Use these classroom reproducible worksheets to practice reading and interpreting data. On one page, students read a passage and respond to provided questions. On the next page are additional stem questions (with a basic structure to build upon) to create a total of 480 questions. The analysis moves from concrete to abstract, spanning the categories of understanding people, places, events and concepts; identifying key details; summarizing positions; interpreting content; inferring; analyzing perspectives, change and continuity; comparing and contrasting; evaluating texts; maps, graphs, and charts; artwork, photographs and posters; and connecting texts. This book provides a brief skill overview and teacher instruction. Symbols identify each activity with the appropriate level: grades K-1; 2-4; 5-8; and 9-12. Description of literacy-based skills and an answer key are provided. 160 pp, pb. ~ Ruth
