    1. How to Increase Content Knowledge As Well As Literacy Skills in the Social Studies.

    2. ORIGIN

    3. QUESTION What happens when I try to increase content knowledge, and interest, in the social studies by increasing literacy?

    4. METHOD Journals: Independent reading Current events articles Daily lesson reflection Free choice

    5. JOURNALS Students will reflect on what they are learning inside and outside the classroom. I will read and, occasionally, respond to the entries.

    6. Independent Reading Students shall choose books that connect to the class curriculum. The books may be of any type so long as they represent ideas, themes, or events related to social studies.

    7. Current Events Articles Students will be required to read the news or watch it on television. At least once per week, students are to reflect upon these events.

    8. Daily Lesson Reflection Doubling as a method of reteaching, students shall reflect upon what they have learned. They may also ask questions about what they did not understand (or if they would like to learn more).

    9. Free Choice Students will write about something that is not connected to social studies. Have the students write about a common topic. Favorite television show. Vacation plans. Give students the opportunity to write about anything that interests them.

    10. DATA COLLECTION Accurate records of assignments. Student journal responses. Self-reflection concerning what I have read and observed with regard to the students.

    11. SUPPORT I hope to collaborate with members of the English department to determine if the students are showing any growth. I will talk with other colleagues who have had students utilize journals.

    12. ANALYSIS Read and organize student reflections. Look for trends with regard to understanding as well as literacy skills.

    13. PERMISSIONS Inform the administration of my intentions. Send home requests of permission to use examples from the journals if I create an article from the research.
