Answers
Before getting into rubrics, let's get clear on social studies and project use. Doing projects in social studies is a great way to differentiate, combine curriculum and push students out of their comfort zone. Instead of lecturing, taking notes, quizzes and tests, social studies projects are interactive and collaborative. Students love being active and you get a chance to see how your students use their understanding of concepts in creative ways.
There are many ways to do projects in social studies. Social Studies is defined as the study of humans and how they relate to their environments and each other. It has many strands - geography, history, economics, civics and other studies that relate to human activity. Projects related to social studies are activities children do to learn, explore and apply their understanding. Some commonly used project ideas are:
