S cience & S ocial S tudies

If there is an area that is more difficult for our students than Science & Social Studies, I'd love to hear how/why. Just by the way they are taught, both subjects rely heavily on the textbook and writing assignments. This is like Language Arts plus events, people, scientific method, etc. in quizzes and tests - wow!

Please do not assume that these students know how to read/write in English, and please don't accept the notion that it is not your job to teach them these skills. We are all responsible of our students in our classroom and we must do whatever we can to help our students succeed.
