Social Studies Content: For Elementary and Middle School Teachers

by Penelope Joan Fritzer

This book gives a helpful overview of both U.S. and world history, in addition to basic knowledge in geography, economics, and civics for pre-service and in-service teachers who are lacking a social studies content background. The wide history coverage will allow the pre-service teacher to see historical events in overall context. It is an invaluable resource for the in-service teacher who needs both and overview for planning and help in answering student questions. Geography, economics, and civics concepts are clearly explained, so the book will be helpful when used in writing lesson plans. For pre-service and in-service K-8 social studies teachers.

I read this to review social studies concepts for the Middle School Social Studies Praxis. It has a good basic overview of major concepts. I'm not sure how well it prepares me until I get my exam results. Will update review when I do.
