SOCIAL
STUDIES LESSON PLANS!!!
All teachers need a little
help from time to time. I have compiled
this list of 5 links that will take you to pages full of ideas for social
studies lessons! Every topic you can
imagine is addressed on at least one of the links, so enjoy exploring; I know
you’ll find something amazing!!
Social Studies Plans (6th-8th): This link will take you to 81 links to social studies lessons which cover topics from geography, government, and world trade. The lesson plans are easy to read and provide all the information needed for another teacher to successfully complete the lessons.

PBS Lesson Plans:
This link takes you to a PBS sponsored page where you can enter
your grade level and then select the topic.
The lessons given are very thorough and utilize many teaching
styles. Each search provides numerous
responses and lesson types.

Edsitement Plans! When
visiting this site, teachers will find lesson plan suggestions listed in
alphabetical order. The teacher can also
select a topic that he/she would like to focus on and only those lessons will
be displayed. This site also provides
links to helpful websites about the chosen topic.

Unit & Lesson Plans This link takes teaches to a list of 168 units. Each unit is then broken down into lessons. The author and the school system from which the lesson came are given. There is also a place where teachers can review the lesson and read the reviews of others. This site is very specific and would be a great site for first year teachers or long time teachers who are looking for new ideas.

More Lessons!! This site provides more social studies lessons! Some of the lessons provide links to necessary worksheets or other sites. Most of the lessons even give a description of the grading rubric. There is also a link where the teachers can e-mail the teacher who posted the lesson. This site is mainly lesson plans, but also includes some Unit Plans.
