Malissa Gore replied to Malissa Gore's discussion Inquiry Circles in the group Middle School Social Studies"Thank you so much for your reply. We have teachers in our building who use literature circles when teaching novels in ELA classes. This approach is similar and the end products tend to be the same. Students definitely have to know…"
Leticia Hallmark replied to Malissa Gore's discussion Inquiry Circles in the group Middle School Social Studies"I use literary circles in my PreAP American history class for historical readings like "Narrative of Frederick Douglass," etc. It's not a method I use all the time - just works well in that regard.

Inquiry Circles
Does anyone here use the inquiry circle method? It was introduced in our district last year and all social studies and science teachers are expected to incorporate them this year. Was wondering if anyone here has experiences with them that they wouldn't mind sharing.

Malissa Gore commented on Jeff Kohls's group Contemporary Issues/Current Events"Thanks for the reply Jeff.

Place where middle school teachers can share lessons, questions, tools, books, or really anything. Also a place to start dialogue with high school teachers to alleviate transitional issues between middle school and high school.
Malissa Gore replied to David Wallace's discussion ISN"I use ISN's in my 8th grade classroom. Would love to talk to another social studies teacher who uses them. I love mind maps for our "right" side pages - especially when the students begin to make connections to world…"
Malissa Gore replied to Angela Cunningham's discussion What's in Your Toolbox? in the group Social Studies Tools"Darren, this is awesome. It would totally be relevant in a classroom setting to give students a sense of how big the world is. For my students, some of whom never leave the state of Louisiana, this is a great tool to pique their interest…"
Malissa Gore commented on Jeff Kohls's group Contemporary Issues/Current Events"I am really looking forward to being a part of this awesome group of educators.
