Teaching Social Studies to Multilingual Learners in High School: Connecting Inquiry and Visual Literacy to Promote Progressive Learning explores effective strategies for teaching studies to diverse learners. The centerpiece is a visual literacy framework that integrates inquiry, primary source analysis, and visual literacy to provide a progressive learning sequence to meet the varied needs of learners. The visual literacy framework brings together related aspects of progressive, sequential learning into a cohesive whole. It has an adaptable structure that allows teachers to customize learning activities to meet individual student needs. The progressive learning sequence has varied modes of learning that help teachers move students from basic to proficient to advanced levels of support. The book is organized into two related parts. The first three chapters provide important content and context on social studies, multilingual learner education, and the visual literacy framework. The remaining chapters discuss civics, U. S. history, world history, geography, and economics and social sciences. Each chapter defines the subject area, briefly traces its development as a high school subject over time, and then offers classroom exercises for using the visual literacy framework in these disciplines. The exercises are plotted so that differing levels of the visual literacy framework are explored throughout the book.
Embracing ALL learners in social studies classrooms, Mark Newman and Xiaoning Chen provide important insights into how to make social studies teaching and learning more inclusive, equitable, and engaging. Blending an embrace of students of every background with their visual framework, Teaching Social Studies to Multilingual Learners in High School: Connecting Inquiry and Visual Literacy to Promote Progressive Learning adds important and engaging approaches to every social studies teacher' s toolkit. --Benjamin R. Wellenreiter, assistant professor, Illinois State University, and 2019 president of the Illinois Council for the Social Studies Mark Newman and Xiaoning Chen do a great job of addressing the challenges multilingual students face while weaving together best practices and the visual literacy framework, all the while staying rooted in the inquiry-based learning model. Being a novice not only to the visual literacy framework but to teaching in general, I was able to walk away with a firm understanding of the visual literacy framework and how it can be applied in the classroom with my multilingual students. Furthermore, the authors explain why it is beneficial for students. It provides a level of authenticity and mirrors what teachers encounter in the classroom. --Jorge Rios, ESL/Bilingual Social Studies Teacher, East Aurora High School, Aurora, Illinois
