What do the 3rd grade social studies lesson plans include?
Lessons in the teacher’s edition follow a teaching cycle that offers educators a path for guiding students toward success in 3rd grade social studies. The teaching cycle follows four steps:

Engage: Review questions, visual analyses, and group activities generate student interest and prepare them to learn; folk tales also draw students in and encourage interest.
Instruct: Suggested teaching strategies include discussion questions, active and collaborative learning activities, and primary source evaluation.
Apply: Activities pages reinforce student learning, help students evaluate cultural beliefs and practices, and provide opportunities for them to apply biblical knowledge to their lives.
Assess: activities, guiding questions, and class discussions give opportunities for formative assessments; tests and quizzes provide opportunities for summative assessment.
