A Book I'm Reading: "Reading Like a Historian"
I'm currently reading, "Reading Like a Historian". Our dept. supervisor has all of the Social Studies teachers looking at this book as we consider Common Core and incorporating more literacy into our lessons. The book itself is fairly practical for a teacher; each part is split up with the historical debate, why teach it, and how you might use the materials. It's dedicated primarily to history classes, so I need to "think outside the box" to apply this to my geography classes. However, it's still a good resource for me to be reading as we look at how Common Core will change what and how we teach!
