Zoom In!

Zoom In is a free resource that focuses on literacy in the social studies classroom. This website has free, ready-to-go lessons that are suitable for getting students to think argumentatively and create papers on multiple US History lessons. There is an information section for teachers to learn how to best implement this resource in their classroom. There is even a testimony from a teacher who says that their student was eager to use this resource to write another paper. This resource is an easy and interactive way to get students to engage in higher order, text-based discussions and to read primary sources for closely and accurately. This source doesn't seem usable in a science or math class, but it can be used in an English class to practice literary skills than will be used apart from the social studies curriculum. There is even a tab for administrators to learn how to implement this resource for the entire school. It appears that Zoom In can be used for a variety of grade levels and a variety of standards. I would love to implement this source in my future classroom, especially since it is FREE!
