Linking Language Arts and Social Studies

“As the content-area experts, social studies teachers know the historical facts, dates, and people, the characteristics of a given era, pertinent conflicts, and pieces of legislation. The challenge is how to present this wealth of information in a way that will be meaningful and memorable (i.e., ways that will result in real, lasting learning) to students.”
