5.+Social+Studies


 * Social Studies**

We study human society in the context of 4 broad areas:
 * Physical Environment
 * Culture
 * Governance
 * Economy & Technology

I endeavour to use an [|inquiry-based] approach, involving group collaboration and use of varied media. We focus on the following skills:
 * critical thinking skills (e.g., comparing, classifying, inferring, imagining, verifying, identifying relationships, summarizing, drawing conclusions)
 * use of graphs, tables, timelines, maps
 * compiling information and evaluating the credibility and reliability of sources
 * presentation skills
