Catch Them Thinking in Social Studies: A Handbook of Cooperative Learning Activities

Formerly a SkyLight publication.

Using interesting and carefully structured cross-disciplinary activities, Catch Them Thinking in Social Studies: A Handbook of Cooperative Learning Activities, offers a wide variety of problem-solving lessons in five areas of the social studies curriculum:

• Geography
• Politics
• Economics

These learning activities prepare students to rely on themselves as well as others for information, work closely with others, make suggestions, use trial-and-error strategies, and have fun learning about social studies.
