    a. How did you narrow down your topic so that you could write a concise Research Question? Choosing a topic was a fairly easy task for me. The idea of social change has always intrigued me and since immigration and education are hot topics in the current political race, I decided to combine these ideas for my research question, ‘How Has Immigration Created Social Change in the United States Public School System?’. By following the text in Babbie, 2013, I was able to understand how to narrow down my topic and after conducting preliminary research, such as freewriting, exploratory reading, surfing the web and browsing through Wilmington University’s online library, I was then able to further define my focus by formulating my research question.…

    Before taking this class, I had a whole different outlook on what I would be learning, but I am grateful that the instruction I had made me reflect on the kind of classroom and practices I believe are important especially when it comes to teaching social studies. Practices and approaches that I would have never considered including into an elementary classroom curriculum such as research, flooding a terrain model, and role play have opened up my eyes and created a very different vision of my social studies classroom.
