Final Reflection

Coming into this course I wasn't sure what I would learn. I don't remember much about Social Studies from my own experience, but I did remember that I didn't like it much, so when I started this course I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy the content. However, this turned about to be one of my favourite courses. I learned that Social Studies is not just about the past, but also about current events. I liked that we can compare historical events to events in the past, and how these events are similar or different. I also like the emphasis on incorporating cross-curricular connections. It makes Social Studies and the other subjects more meaningful because it can be applied to real-world situations. This course has opened my eyes to a subject that I am excited to teach with an endless possibilities of topics I can talk about with my students. I am excited to find new ways to engage my students.
