While Teaching His Fourth-Grade Students About the Exploration of North

While teaching his fourth-grade students about the exploration of North America, Mr. Anandpura wants to employ a constructivist approach to learning. Which of the following strategies would best accomplish his goal?

A) Have the students read the chapters in their textbook that discuss the explorations and then answer the focus questions at the end of the chapter
B) Have the students complete a graphic organizer while showing them a videotaped reenactment of one of the meetings between the explorers and a Native American tribe
C) Have the students read a variety of stories about the exploration, discuss the topics by making connections to their own lives as well as other events in history and then write their own stories as if they were one of the explorers
D) Teach the concepts by lecture while the students take notes, and have the students write a paragraph to summarize their notes
