How Does Jannita Harrigan Teaches Social Studies - Physical Resources Work?

Jannita Harrigan teaches social studies using physical resources, which are like toys that help kids learn about real places and people.

Imagine you're playing with blocks, each block is a city, a country, or even a person from history. When Jannita uses these physical resources, she’s giving you something to touch and move around, just like how you build your favorite tower in the playground.

Physical resources are things you can pick up, like maps, pictures of famous people, or little models of buildings. These aren’t just decorations, they're tools that help you understand big ideas in social studies, like why people live where they do or how a country changes over time.

When Jannita brings out these physical resources, it's like opening up a new world to explore. You might hold a model of a pyramid and learn about ancient Egypt, or use a map to follow the journey of explorers.

It’s like having a special kind of puzzle, every piece helps you see how different parts of history fit together, just like when you put your blocks in order to make a story come alive.
