In social studies, analysis is a golden skill. In teaching students how to analyse a text, I found that providing students with a visual reference to structuring analytical writing and thinking to be critically important. Here is a tool that I provide my students.

Teaching style
I come from a community of educators that believe that education is a vehicle for justice, social transformation, and self-enhancement. In my classroom, I work to position my students as creators of knowledge and agents of their own development. This means that my classroom centers democratic and student-lead decision making, while applying what we know to the so-called "real world." Much of my curriculum is project-based.
