The Front matter
Matters! By starting our planning with the front matter, we narrow our
focus to a disciplinary skill. It is through the development of these
front matter skills that students are better able to navigate their classes as disciplinary
insiders, as they are taught what it means to think like a mathematician, a biologist, a
historian, a musician, and so on.
The front matter can be a daunting read. We needed to
create a user-friendly version, so we adapted the material into graphic
organizers, such as this one for social studies, K-12, below. Please
note, these are our interpretations of the front matter. We would love to
hear if you have a different interpretation of any of the content.
All of our front matter
summaries can be found on the Black Gold Engaging Students website, at http://engagingstudents.blackgold.ca/index.php/division-ii/front-matter-summaries/
