Abstract	This article describes how one social studies class used chants to express themselves. One student's chant communicated her understandings of citizenship; it included three specific ways that she can be a good responsible citizen. This student's communication of ideas reflects the fourth dimension of the Inquiry Arc in the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework. Integrating the arts into other content areas goes beyond what many teachers do when they have students listen to a song or examine a painting. Integration requires that teachers offer art instruction (of form or practice) and social studies instruction with equal rigor. Thus, the integrated lesson plan should target learning objectives in art as well as in social studies. This article focuses on Ms. Cruz's second grade classroom in a public school in the East Baton Rouge Parish School District in Louisiana where students are familiar with using arts integration practices to learn and explore new subject matter. It describes how chanting--the repetition of words using a varied rhythm, beat, and pitch--can be used as an art form and a way of learning. The article shares a social studies lesson plan to help other educators create their own C3 Framework lesson using chanting. (ERIC).
