Resources
Each learner should have a quality textbook and a neatly kept
notebook. Textbooks must be suitable for the grade, context and
language level of the learner. They should provide accurate content
that is aimed at the development of the appropriate skills, concepts
and values. Textbooks must include appropriate and adequate
assessment activities.
Every Social Sciences classroom should have wall maps, a globe,
access to a set of atlases and a dictionary, as well as access to a
variety of reading books and visual material suitable for the grade.
Every teacher of Social Sciences should be familiar with the
content to be taught, read widely on the content of the topics for
the term and prepare lessons carefully.
Additional Resources
It is important to bring the world into the Social Sciences
classroom. Visual resources can make information more
accessible to many learners. Teachers should therefore:
have magazines and newspapers available in the classroom for
learners to use in their activities and acquire sets of pictures for
classroom activities;
try to obtain access to a TV/DVD and/or CD player to present
appropriate audio and audio-visual material to learners; and
try to use the Internet wherever possible. Many organisations
and projects provide useful information through the Internet.
Google Earth, for example, provides extensive aerial photographs.
You-tube provides videos of many historical events.
