- How can graphic organizers be used to assist students in reading text?
- What accommodations will you need to attend to with respect to reading readiness levels in young people?
- What resources could be used to enhance a social studies unit? How does music, art, technology, literature (biographies, quotes, poems, historical fiction), play a role in helping students experience the connection of the time?
| - A graphic organizer used while students are reading helps students organize thoughts and make better understanding. The students can use the graphic organizer to clearly state facts from the reading in a nice, orderly manner.
- For younger children, it is important to remember that students are learning to read rather than reading to learn. With children, it is best to use shorter paragraphs, more pictures, and easier details. Having a graphic organizer will help the students who have more troubles to start filling in the blanks on the main points, the details, and any other pertinent information.
- Infusion of two subjects is one way to create a connection between two subjects, for example integrating English and the Civil War. Fusion is two subjects teaching the same concept, for example social studies and science with the scientific method. With these two methods, it is a great way to enhance any lesson.

Yes, graphic organizers help students to organize their learning in a visual manner. It also helps students who can not identify what is worth knowing from details that are not necessarily memorized.
Including reading materials, internet sources, and other resource materials that enhance the understanding of the social studies targets you have identified for a particular unit will ensure student success. This all part of the planning process that begins to take place when constructing units of study. Jann
