United States History CurriculumThis United States History Curriculum document is designed as a supplemental guide for teaching the new United States History Standard Course of Study. Several key features in this guide will be useful to teachers. Thinking skills and activities are designed to promote and engage students in higher order thinking and in the disciplines and skills of social studies. The study of United States History includes geography, economics, political science, social and cultural patterns, as well as history. In addition, a resource list is provided for each goal with direct linkage to appropriate, current, and valid web sites. LEA’s have the flexibility to include other web sites and resources and it is to be noted that on occasion a web site moves its location.
A pacing guide has been included as a suggestion for timing the instruction of the new United States History for a traditional schedule and a block schedule. This guide is also color coded to show connections to Language Arts, Fine Arts, (Art and Music) the Internet, Constitutional History, and the new 10th grade Civics and Economics course.

UNITED STATES HISTORY
The study of United States History in high school builds on historical and geographical perspectives gained from the elementary and middle level study of North Carolina and the United States. The study of World History in grade nine will now enable the students to place the United States in a world context as well. The economic and political perspectives and historical foundations gained from the study of Civics and Economics will prepare students for the examination of our nation’s history. It is imperative that this new high school course includes these perspectives and that its coverage reaches into the twenty-first century. In North Carolina, the U.S. historical study no longer supports memorization of unexamined and isolated facts but emphasizes the thinking skills to detect trends, analyze movements and events, and develop a “sense of history”. Incorporating all sections of this document with the curriculum guide for United States History will provide teachers with much needed support for teaching this course successfully.

UNITED STATES HISTORY
Teaching OptionsThe goals and objectives are the solid basis of this document. Concepts and terms have been provided to assist the teacher in knowing what must be included for classroom instruction. Thinking skills and activities are provided to give the teacher suggestions for making instruction interactive and inclusive of various learning styles. Suggested resources are also included. Keep in mind that the columns related to the concepts through the resources are fluid and provide more than enough information to teach this course. Teachers are encouraged to enhance instruction beyond the minimums required. There are many opportunities for the teacher to provide his or her own areas of interest, additional terms, and other activities and resources. The teaching strategies used to teach the students in United States History must move beyond lecture, discussion and the didactic methods of old into those of interaction, student participation and higher levels of thinking.
The document could not include every term in textbooks for the study of the United States and if it were possible to list the most important 100 terms for the course, it would be difficult for us all to agree to the list based on our teaching styles and the kinds of students in each class period. Overall it is important to remember that teachers have flexibility to teach these goals and objectives and concepts and terms in the order that fits the needs of the students.
United States History Curriculum Document, NCDPI, 2004 6
UNITED STATES HISTORY
Connections to Language Arts and LiteratureWhere possible suggestions have been included of American Literature that could be addressed in
the teaching of American History. Working closely with the Language Arts Department in correlating their studies of works of literature with the study of history is sound advice and various school systems and schools do an excellent job in interdisciplinary instruction for high school students. The more connections teachers can help students make for all their subjects, the better the learning. In many cases selections of fiction can break through the abstractions that history offers and put the learner into the event to feel its reality.
Witnessing history through literature can be accomplished by looking at works by John Smith, Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Hector St Jean de Crevecoeur, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, Parson Weems, Washington Irving, Alexis de Toqueville, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathanial Hawthorne, Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, Walt Whitman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry David Thoreau, Edith Wharton, Margaret Leech, Helen Hunt Jackson, Edward Bellamy, Frederick Jackson Turner, Horatio Alger, Jr., Jacob Riis, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Dubois, Frank Norris, Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, Upton Sinclair, Sinclair Lewis, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway John Dos Passos, John Steinbeck, Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Rachel Carson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Toni Morrison, Tom Wolfe Arthur Miller, and Henry James. This is a standard list of suggestions and many others can be used for witnessing history including biographies.
Each goal and objective will have various suggested literature connections. Web sites to help with the use of key literature pieces are included in Section Ten. Also included in Section Twelve are suggested books for teacher use for making the literature connections. The STORY of history resounds in these links.
United States History Curriculum Document, NCDPI, 2004 7
UNITED STATES HISTORY
Connections to Fine Arts (Art and Music)Where possible, suggestions have been included of works of art and music that could be used in the
teaching of American History. Working closely with the Fine Arts Department in correlating their studies with the study of history adds another dimension of learning for students with these interests. The more connections teachers can help students make for all their subjects, the better the learning.
Witnessing history through art and music can be accomplished by looking at periods of American popular music referred to as: Colonial, 17th Century, 18th Century, Sea, Folk, Cowboy, Western, Military, National, Civil War, Spirituals, Blues, Jazz, World War I, Musicals and Theater, Big Band, Swing, World War II, Rock-n-Roll, Pop, Hip Hop, etc. Many web sites exist from which one can hear the songs related to a time period and one site History Happens has music videos that fit history time periods. A listing of suggested sites is included in Section Ten. Sample analysis sheets for music and art can be found in Section Five.
Many textbooks come with transparencies of art pieces to include in instruction. Throughout this document suggestions are made for pieces beyond the textbook. There are many periods of American Art and an example or two of each should be used. References can be found at the National Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery through their web site. These museums are part of the Smithsonian.
Many other pieces are appropriate for the inclusion in this course. Web sites are listed in Section Ten. Again, the STORY of history can be heard and seen in the fine arts developed in this country’s history.

UNITED STATES HISTORY
Connections to Civics and EconomicsConnections to Constitutional History
Within the pacing guide, color-coding is used to indicate terms/concepts that are expected to be taught in Civics & Economics in grade 10, preceding the instruction for grade 11 and U.S. History. Whereas some school systems will be doing the transition to the new sequence of World History, Civics and Economics, and U. S. History at different times, it is important to note that these terms/concepts are indicated. Subject areas do overlap and in social studies for depth of understanding it is important to show the connections to social, economic, political, and cultural events. Civics and Economics will be picking up the basic history of the nation in its first three goals and the US study will begin with Washington’s administration.
Copies of the Civics and Economics Standard Course of Study and the World History Course of Study can be obtained from the NCDPI website, http://www.ncpublicschools.org/curriculum/socialstudies/. It is expected that each subject area teacher will fully cover the course assigned and therefore learning can proceed with new information and study, not continuous repeats what was already studied. This process is referred to as vertical alignment.
Connections to the Civics & Economics course will be indicated in green. The state of N.C. requires by law the inclusion of certain documents in the study of constitutional history. These items will be color coded red in this document.

UNITED STATES HISTORY
Pacing (Continued)
Pacing is only suggested. Pacing will differ based on student interests and skills. Teachers, too will differ in the ability to integrate goals and objectives into exciting units for students.
In this subject of history, it is not easy to break topics into time increments since all topics continue to lead into the next: that is what history does. However, since this is to be a tested subject area, it becomes necessary to give an overview of a plan to complete the curriculum as well as the course. These suggested class days do not include time for testing and reviewing.
