Digital History for Multilingual Learners: Utilizing Inquiry Kits
Turner, Alison; Manfra, Meghan
Social Education, v87 n2 p124-128 Mar-Apr 2023
There have been multiple calls to support more systematic approaches to addressing the needs of multilingual students in social studies. In this action research study, the authors point to the Maryland Humanities Inquiry Kits, which provide an example of how to leverage digital history resources in the multilingual classroom for a culturally and linguistically responsive approach to instruction. This example demonstrates how teachers can honor student funds of knowledge to teach content in the social studies classroom with digital primary sources.
