Implement the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS)
curriculum standards in your classroom with People, Places,
Checkmates: Teaching Social Studies with Chess. In this
unique volume, 15 lesson plans teach culture, history,
geography, and citizenship through the history of chess and
its relationship to art, civics, culture, economics,
geography, government, and technology.
Each 40-minute lesson plan includes an NCSS theme, materials
and sources, procedure, and evaluation. Each lesson is
followed by an optional 10-25 minute chess exercise,
composed of teacher background, procedure and materials,
expected time, and evaluation. A separate chapter teaches
the chess basics necessary for your students to actually
play chess and successfully complete the optional exercises.
Lesson plans complement upper elementary and middle school
curricula in world history, U.S. history, geography, and
social studies.
