Immigration Issues/Teaching Social Studies

Number of Pages 3

A 3 page summation and discussion of an article concerning teaching immigration issues in a manner that furthers the social studies curricular goals. The pedagogy that educator Bill Bigelow describes in his article “Rethinking the line between us” (Educational Leadership, 2001) offers a template that shows teachers how the social studies curriculum can promote critical thinking among students concerning Mexican and US immigration issues. Furthermore, the activities described by Bigelow also promote active learning, which goes beyond rote memorization by helping students to assimilate an accurate understanding of the complexity of related positions.
