Social Studies, Literacy, and Social Justice in the Common Core Classroom: A Guide for Teachers by Ruichi Agarwal-Rangnath.

This book is about using Language Arts Common Core state standards in Social Studies. It was written to help teachers teach students social studies for social justice. With the Language Arts state standards, this will promote critical thinking and have students question the world around us.

I read this book on my Kindle App. I had to read the device on either my phone (which is smaller than I would like for reading purposes) or on my laptop, which made me less mobile. The book was informational, but my overall experience was not too pleasant because I was not comfortable while reading the book.

The book was very valuable for education. With this book, I have learned how to have students to not be afraid to ask questions about the world around them. It is important to teach students the different sides of history because in Social Studies, we normally only teach the perspective of America as opposed to the marginalized groups (slaves, Native Americans, etc.)
