Review:

"...a valuable resource for teachers who are seeking to improve their confidence in teaching not only ELL students but ALL students. [The book’s] ideas for activities and teaching strategies reflect the current trend in education and, therefore, provide relevant and practical models for teaching social studies that should be adopted by both preservice and inservice teachers."--The Social Studies
