Summary:
"Understanding Nationalism" presents a multi-dimensional and stimulating vision for Social Studies 20-2 in an engaging multi-media format that promotes critical thinking, respect for diversity, and a personal understanding of citizenship. The four sections in the student resource contextualize one of four related issues from the program of studies. Each section opens with a Skill Builder to Your Challenge activity and contains issues and inquiries that will facilitate students ́understandings of key and related issues in the program of studies. Examples included in the text and margins are pertinent to both the program of studies and students ́lives and experiences. Multiple perspectives and points of view on issues are featured in the Voices sections throughout the text. These sections provide students with a model for becoming informed by seeking additional voices as new issues and inquiries emerge. The skill development activities are appropriately sequenced so students can apply new competencies to more challenging contexts as the course unfolds and as they move to subsequent courses of study.
