WORDLE

The following are the words I chose to use in my WORDLE: diversity, history, economics, government, society, integrate, create, discovery, investigate, and intriguing. I chose diversity because Social Studies is a study of people from diverse backgrounds. You are always learning about various groups of people and how they live in relation to you. Diversity is a broad enough term to cover all of these different types of people whether they are different because of their race, culture, religion, etc.

I also chose the word "history" because I think that learning about history is inevitable when discussing the question "What is Social Studies?" History will always be a part of Social Studies. If students do not learn about history in Social Studies, we will likely to repeat the same mistakes in the future. It is also important for students to understand how and why our country is the way it is today.

The next two words I chose are economics and government. I chose these words because I feel that they are very important aspects to Social Studies. These are two areas that will always be included in Social Studies. Students must learn about economics and government in order to be active citizens in our world; which is another aspect that is taught in Social Studies and leads me to my next word, society.

Society is an important word that describes Social Studies. It is imperative to teach students what it means to be an active citizen in our world and also the importance of doing so. There are various ways to do this but without teaching this in Social Studies, we would not be preparing children for the world today, much less to actively participate in society.

The next word I chose to include in my WORDLE is integrate. I chose this word because it seems that this is the only way to fit Social Studies into the school day, therefore, it is important that we integrate it into other subject areas.

The next couple words, create, discovery, and investigate, are all ways to teach and incorporate Social Studies into the classroom. These are higher level ways that challenge students to think critically and outside the box. Having students create situations or events, discover things on their own, and investigate how or why something happened is also a more fun, exciting way to teach Social Studies that the students will enjoy.

Finally, the last word I chose is intriguing. I think this is a great word to describe Social Studies and hopefully your students would agree. I think they would if you teach it correctly. Social Studies is very intriguing because you are able to learn about things that happened in the past, how they relate to the present, and how they will affect the future. This is just one example. Social Studies is also intriguing because you learn about how the world, or more specifically, your state or country operates. You learn the history behind how it got to be the way it is today, and you can study the changes over time. These are just a few of the many ways that Social Studies is intriguing.
