| Abstract | When elementary students collaborate in active learning projects that integrate the social studies they greatly advance their literacy skills and civic awareness. They can improve their analysis and ability to solve social problems by using reading and writing to construct knowledge about historical events. In the lessons described in this article, 26 fourth graders learned American history, geography, economics and civics through building and designing homestead dioramas. These 26 homesteads became the pioneer community and the student designers became its citizens. As in real life, this simulated community contained a variety of productive resources necessary for satisfying basic economic needs. However, the resources were distributed unevenly throughout the township. This inequity challenged students to consider issues of social justice related to the meaning of the common good as they deliberated matters of economic policy for living together in a democracy.
