Oxford Primary Social Studies is a complete six-year primary course
which provides an engaging introduction to the key areas of Social
Studies. It has a structured syllabus covering citizenship,
history, cultural studies, geography and PSHE (Personal, Social and
Health Education). This course has been developed specifically for
the Middle East, paying particular attention to the cultural
requirements of the region. For the teacher, this Teacher's Guide
provides step-by-step guidance for each lesson, as well as
background knowledge and information for specialist and
non-specialist teachers alike.
Global Citizenship Education addresses the intersection of
globalization, education and programmatic efforts to prepare young
people to live in a more interdependent, complex and fragile world.
The book explores topics such as sustainability education, cultural
diversity, and human rights education, offering critical insights
into how these facets of GCE are interpreted around the world. The
book also strives to give voice to student populations within
historically marginalized communities, rather than focusing solely
on the role of GCE in elite schools. Gaudelli blends theory and
practice to provide both an overview of GCE as well as examining
current efforts to develop more globally-conscious classrooms.
Blending empirical research and practical illustrations, this
important volume encourages educators to take seriously their own
call to prepare young people to engage global challenges with a
sense of urgency and helps chart a new direction for global
learning that is increasingly expansive, dialogic and inclusive.

Mark Kurlansky's bestselling works of nonfiction view the history
of the world through unexpected lenses, including cod, salt, and
paper. In this new book for young readers his lens is the art of
the big lie. Big lies are told by governments, politicians, and
corporations to avoid responsibility, cast blame on the innocent,
win elections, disguise intent, create chaos, and gain power and
wealth. Big lies are as old as civilization. They corrupt public
understanding and discourse, turn science upside down, and reinvent
history. They prevent humanity from addressing critical challenges.
They perpetuate injustices. They destabilize the world. As with his
book World Without Fish, Kurlansky has written A History of Big
Lies for young readers, the future stewards of our world. It is not
only a history but a how-to manual for seeing through big lies and
thinking critically. "I hope that you will keep asking yourself
what is true as you read this book and live your life," he entreats
readers at the outset. "If the Age of Enlightenment is not to be
followed by the Age of Chaos, we have to think for ourselves." A
History of Big Lies soars across history, alighting on the "noble
lies" of Socrates and Plato, Nero blaming Christians for the
burning of Rome, the great injustices of the Middle Ages, the big
lies of Stalin and Hitler and their terrible consequences, and the
reckless lies of contemporary demagogues, which are amplified
through social media. Lies against women and Jews are two examples
in the long history of "othering" the vulnerable for personal gain.
Nor does America escape Kurlansky's equal-opportunity spotlight.
The modern age has provided ever-more-effective ways of spreading
lies, but it has also given us the scientific method, which is the
most effective tool for finding what is true. In the book's final
chapter, Kurlansky reveals ways to deconstruct an allegation. Is
there credible, testable evidence to support it? If not, suspect a
lie. A scientific theory has to be testable, and so does an
allegation. Who is the source? Who benefits? Is there a money
trail? Especially in the age of social media, critical thinking
counters lies and chaos. "Belief is a choice," Kurlansky writes,
"and honesty begins in each of us. A lack of caring what is true or
false is the undoing of democracy. The alternative to truth is a
corrupt state in which the loudest voices and most seductive lies
confer power and wealth on grifters and oligarchs. We cannot
achieve a healthy planet for all the world's people if we do not
keep asking what is true."

seven discovery pockets. An introduction pocket gives an overview
of the time periods studied. The other pockets focus on the food,
shelter, clothing, and contributions of six ancient worlds. Each of
the pockets contains: a reproducible pocket label, four picture
dictionary words, a fact sheet of background information for the
teacher, a reproducible student information booklet complete with
illustrations, a postcard of a famous monument, two puppets to show
the clothing, arts and crafts projects, and writing activities. As
a culminating activity, the students put together a passport of all
the places they have visited. This passport gives students a chance
to reflect on all they have learned. The book includes the
following pockets: What Is History?, Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient
Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient China, and Ancient

As long as people have lived in community they have had systems of
government. With historical and full-color photographs

well-known formal governing systems like never before. Comparing
and contrasting features of one style against another's, these
titles feature a sophisticated design that serves as a fitting
backdrop to historical images. Investigative side panels, colored
glossary terms, and a timeline assist in making the text accessible
to a wide range of learners.An examination of the communist form of
government, including its basic ideologies and structure, its
best-known leaders throughout history, and countries affected by
its system of rule.
Technology in the Middle and Secondary Social Studies Classroom
introduces pre-service teachers to the research underpinning the
effective integration of technology into the social studies
curriculum. Building off of established theoretical frameworks,
veteran social studies teacher educator Scott Scheuerell shows how
the implementation of key technologies in the classroom can help
foster higher-level thinking among students. Plentiful,
user-friendly examples illustrate how specific educational
tools-including games, social media, flipped classrooms, and other
emerging technologies-spur critical thinking and foster authentic
intellectual work. A rigorous study, Technology in the Middle and
Secondary Social Studies Classroom provides a comprehensive,
up-to-date research framework for conceptualizing successful,
technology-rich social studies classrooms.
