We talked about it, and realized that what we really wanted was a way to reflect and remember, and we weren't quite sure how to go about doing so.

In my research, I came across the book I Never Saw Another But

Importance of learning social studies
Social studies offers valuable insights into history, geography, and much more. Social studies captivates students by providing them with perspectives from the past, present, and future, allowing them to understand history and navigate current events. It enables them to appreciate how previous generations have shaped their present reality. In essence, social studies opens their eyes to the vastness of life beyond their immediate surroundings.
Benefits of learning social studies
Learning social studies offers many benefits to students in terms of helping them develop a holistic understanding of the world. Namely, it helps them:
- Learn about the achievements, challenges, perspectives, traditions, and customs of different societies
- Evaluate information, analyze evidence, and make informed judgments about complex social, economic, and political issues
- Become active, responsible, and engaged citizens
- Comprehend global issues such as human rights, environmental sustainability, and economic disparities
By teaching social studies, teachers can help students develop critical thinking skills, foster civic engagement, and promote social awareness and responsibility.
