Publisher's Synopsis
Social Studies In The Hampton Curriculum is a book written by Thomas Jesse Jones and published in 1906. The book focuses on the curriculum of the Hampton Institute, a historically black college in Virginia, and its approach to teaching social studies. Jones, who was the director of the Department of History and Sociology at Hampton, outlines the goals of social studies education and how they align with the mission of the institute. He argues that social studies should not only teach students about history and government, but also about their own communities and social issues. The book includes detailed lesson plans and teaching strategies for various topics in social studies, such as geography, economics, and civics. Jones emphasizes the importance of hands-on learning and encourages teachers to incorporate field trips, debates, and other interactive activities into their lessons. Overall, Social Studies In The Hampton Curriculum provides a comprehensive guide to teaching social studies in a way that is relevant and engaging for students.
