Little vs. Big - In the primary grades the arts are used broader and at a superficial level, while in the intermediate grades they are explored at a greater depth and used to delve deeper into the material.
Technological Support - Using web quests for the students to search out information can use technology to support social studies curriculum. They can also download pictures of artwork and music files. Teachers can use the Internet to inform themselves as well as students about the specific topic that is being studied. Teachers can make PowerPoint’s. The Internet can be used in lieu of fieldtrips for schools who do not have the sufficient funds.
Strengths and “What-Not” - . The strengths of this topic are that you can find a multicultural component to use in any lesson. It touches on all learning styles. Breaks up the monotony of bookwork and can facilitate cooperative learning.
- The disadvantages are that students may view it as a “for-fun-activity” rather than an actual discipline if it is not used meaningfully in the classroom. It is very time consuming and must be thoroughly planned out so that there is a schedule to be followed and help accountable for.
