 * 1) 2. Find and write about __two__ journal articles (published after 2001) that include great teaching strategies or methods that you can apply to the New Brunswick social studies curricula. If you can't place the article in a lesson plan format then it is probably not talking about a strategy but about content or materials.You may have to scan many articles to find the 2 that you feel best speaks to you and the way you want to teach.

Use APA reference for each article and describe the teaching strategy so I could write a lesson plan using your text. You don't need to tell me why it's a great strategy, just describe it. Reflect on the articles as they relate specifically to the New Brunswick curriculum and how you would incorporate them into a way of teaching in a social studies classroom.

The best location for finding relevant articles and peer reviewed journals is the UNB library and/or website.
