Product Description
by Starlynn Nance (Editor), Scott L. Roberts (Editor)
The C3 Framework and Film: Bringing Hollywood to the Social Studies Classroom as a Catalyst for Teaching Inquiry transforms K-12 social studies by incorporating the power of film into social studies inquiry. Featuring films from animated shorts to full-length documentaries, this practical resource shows how film can be more than just passive entertainment-film can be the gateway for historical inquiry, literacy skills, and critical thinking.
Grounded in the C3 Framework and the Inquiry Design Model (IDM), editors Starlynn Nance and Scott L. Roberts and the book's contributors offer classroom-ready, teacher-tested units that cover major content areas like geography, world history, and economics. Elementary educators will discover how film can integrate social studies and English language arts content, and secondary educators will learn how to foster active, student-led inquiries. The C3 Framework and Film provides pre-service and practicing teachers with tools to make learning engaging, to make film part of the inquiry process, and to empower students to do social studies.
