The document discusses using the C4 Framework to guide quality social studies instruction in the 21st century. The C4 Framework focuses on having students collect, communicate, collaborate, and create. It provides examples of lessons and activities that teach social studies content while developing these skills, such as document analysis, collaborative projects, game-based learning, and multimedia presentations. The goal is for students to gather and evaluate information from multiple sources and use evidence to make arguments and tell stories through different forms of communication.
