ideas of others, ask each other questions about the topic engaged during the team discussion and ideas shared, build
on each other’s ideas, cite examples from the texts/RRLS (Review of the Related Literature and Studies) or each
experiences to support the ideas, and treat each other with respect. As a participant in a team discussion, do what

the outside interference so that focus and serenity will be maintain. Consider these behavioral practices and cautions
to support active listening as you participate in a team discussion/class: Good and best practice includes looking at
the person who is talking to you; making an effort to hear the exact words the speaker is saying; reflecting back
what you hear; responding to others’ ideas by extending, supporting, or challenging those ideas with your own
thoughts; using specific examples from course readings to support your ideas or connect the ideas of others; use
nodding or other signs to show what a classmate says matters.

ABSTRACTION
Teaching social studies in the elementary grade level is a challenging task to a classroom teacher. A teacher
must be articulate enough to visualize and materialize what is in the mind to make the learner become active and
motivated participant in the classroom learning encounter. Teach what the kids want to learn about because a child
is curious about the world around them and love to discover and explore why things are the way they are. Live and
act the way the child adopts the learning environment. Social studies are really a boring subject but if a teacher
Teach what YOU are passionate about it will fascinate the learner. Think and act loud to your experience and
connect to the experience of the learner. A social studies teacher often asked. What would YOU do? - Have the
learner close their eyes and imagine…your voice and the rising and falling tone has the driving point on the “idea”
or “incident” that the “piece” you wanted to deliver or use photos (from the internet) and other artifacts to tell about
the political climate or cultural environment of the time.
