Standard 4 Checklist

Context

The "Standard 4 Checklist" assignment was created for CI 3110: Elementary Social Studies Methods, during the Fall 2007 semester. It was created under the advisement of Dr. Claire Mammola.

Impact on Student Learning

I have created the Standard 4 Checklist to prove that I have met the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Social Studies.
