    This was a great little article for myself. Sometimes I have a difficult time with the comprehension of specific things that I don't have a lot of knowledge about. In here it talks about becoming familiar with the national and state standards in the subject that you teach. This are like the bylaws of what you are going to be teaching, and you must make sure that you follow these directions.

    Other things that you may want to use are graphic organizers to better help you develop your skills of a subject. Surround yourself with strong teachers. Use your media center and library to undertake research. These are only a few of the things on the list that they talked about in the article.

    So I started to think these are the same things that students can do to help themselves become more familiar with the subject. Surround yourself with good help, use the library to help you better understand the topics in the classroom. Keep up with current events. These are all good strategies for a student to use when they are looking for a better literacy sense in the social studies classroom.
