Purpose and Use of the Documents The Curriculum Guide represents an articulation of what students should know and be able to do. The Curriculum Guide supports teachers in knowing how to help students achieve the goals of the new standards and understanding each standard conceptually. It should be used as a tool to assist teachers in planning and implementing a high quality instructional program.

The “At-a-Glance” provides a snapshot of the recommended pacing of instruction across a semester or year.

Learning targets (“I can” statements) and Criteria for Success (“I will” statements) have been created by ISS teachers and are embedded in the Curriculum Guide to break down each standard and describe what a student should know and be able to do to reach the goal of that standard.

The academic vocabulary or content language is listed under each standard. There are 30-40 words in bold in each subject area that should be taught to mastery.

The unpacking section of the Curriculum Guide contains rich information and examples of what the standard means; this section is an essential component to help both teachers and students understand the standards.

Teachers will be asked to give feedback throughout the year to continually improve their Curriculum Guides.

History Essential Standard: 5.H.1 Analyze the chronology of key events in the United States. 5.H.2 Understand the role of prominent figures in shaping the United States.

Clarifying Objectives: 5.H.1.1 Evaluate the relationships between European explorers (French, Spanish and English) and American Indian groups, based on accuracy of historical information (beliefs, fears and leadership). 5.H.1.2 Summarize the political, economic and social aspects of colonial life in the thirteen colonies. 5.H.1.3 Analyze the impact of major conflicts, battles and wars on the development of our nation through Reconstruction. 5.H.2.1 Summarize the contributions of the “Founding Fathers” to the development of our country. 5.H.2.2 Explain how key historical figures have exemplified values and principles of American democracy. 5.H.2.3 Compare the changing roles of women and minorities on American society from Pre-Colonial through Reconstruction.

Unpacking: What does this standard mean that a student will know and be able to do? 5.H.1.1 The student will understand: Relationships and interactions between different cultural groups can have both positive and negative effects based upon their perceptions of one another. Criteria can be used to critique the accuracy of historical sources. The student will know: How European explorers and Native American groups interacted/perceived each other. The student will be able to: Assess the validity of an historical source using specific criteria. For example: For an accurate understanding of the relationship between Europeans and Native Americans, one might utilize multiple sources from varying points of view. Note: First, students will need to evaluate the relationship between Europeans and Native American within the context of leadership, beliefs and fears. Next, students will need to assess the accuracy of available historical information about both groups.

2014-2015 Iredell-Statesville Schools – 5th Social Studies

18

5.H.1.2 The student will understand: Colonies develop distinct identities based upon physical location, cultural make-up of the population, and economic circumstances. The student will know: Daily life in the colonies varied based upon the cultural background of the inhabitants. How and why the political and economic structure among the colonies varied. For example: Six of the original colonies (New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and New Jersey) were started as proprietary colonies. The purpose of these colonies was to make profit for stockholders back in England. 5.H.1.3 The student will understand: Conflict and/or war may influence a nation’s political, social, and economic development. Conflict may result in compromise. Battles influence the direction and outcome of wars. War can transform society. The student will know: Social issues that were a source of conflict and how those issues impacted the development of the United States (through Reconstruction). Economic issues were a source of conflict and those issues impacted the development of the United States (through Reconstruction). For example: Colonists resented being taxed without the opportunity to represent themselves politically. As a result, colonists protested and fought for independence from Great Britain eventually forming their own nation. Political issues were a source of conflict and how those issues impacted the development of the United States (through Reconstruction). For example: The institution and expansion of slavery sparked much political debate. As the nation grew, the political balance between free and slave states was tested. Several compromises resulted from this conflict (e.g., the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas Nebraska Act).

Essential Vocabulary: explorer, American Indian, culture, European, inhabitants, Colonial life, reconstruction, compromise Learning Targets: “I Can” Criteria For Success: “I Will”

I can identify different cultural group’s positive and negative effects on each other.

I will validate historical resources using specific criteria. I will understand why the political and economic structures among the

I can identify interactions between cultural groups. I can critique the accuracy of historical sources.

colonies vary.

I can understand how conflict and war may influence a nation’s political, social, and economic development.

I will understand social and economic issues that impact the reconstruction of the U.S. after conflict.

Geography and Environmental Literacy Essential Standard: 5.G.1 Understand how human activity has and continues to shape the United States.

Clarifying Objectives: 5.G.1.1 Explain the impact of the physical environment on early settlements in the New World. 5.G.1.2 Explain the positive and negative effects of human activity on the physical environment of the United States, past and present. 5.G.1.3 Exemplify how technological advances (communication, transportation and agriculture) have allowed people to overcome geographic limitations. 5.G.1.4 Exemplify migration within or immigration to the United States in order to identify push and pull factors (why people left/why people came).

Unpacking: What does this standard mean that a student will know and be able to do? 5. G.1.1 The student will understand: Physical environments affect settlement patterns. Physical environment can determine the way that people meet basic needs such as food and shelter. The student will know: Physical environment includes climate, landforms, soils, hydrology, vegetation, and animal life. How the physical environment impacted settlement patterns and daily life in the New World. For example: Jamestown was founded on a river. Initially, this seemed like a good spot because the harbor provided natural protection and a supply of food. However, the colonists did not dig deep wells to secure a safe water supply. The area was infested with disease-carrying mosquitoes and the men got sick. The physical environment was a contributing factor to Jamestown’s initial failure. Later; however, the colonists learned to use the physical environment more successfully for the settlement. 5. G.1.2 The student will understand: Humans are capable of improving and/or exploiting their physical environment.

2014-2015 Iredell-Statesville Schools – 5th Social Studies

20

The student will know: Historical examples of positive and negative effects of human activity on the United States. For example: In 2010, a BP oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded. Millions of gallons of oil gushed into the water for months. Animal habitats were destroyed, water quality was affected, and fishing grounds were devastated. As a result of human error and excessive risk, the physical environment was negatively impacted. Note: In this objective, it is acceptable to use modern day examples along with those that fit within the time frame of the course. 5. G.1.3 The student will understand: Environmental challenges are often resolved through technological innovation. The student will know: Types of geographic limitations posed in various regions of the United States. Examples of technological advances in America through Reconstruction (e.g., cotton gin, Erie Canal, steam engine, telegraph and other forms of communication) and how they allowed people to overcome geographic limitations. 5.G.1.4 The student will understand: Geographic, political and economic factors can influence settlement patterns. Societal issues, political factors, like government instability, and economic factors often influence individual or group decisions to leave or settle in a place. Migration can be forced or voluntary. For example: Millions of Africans were forced to come to the Americas as slaves. They were captured and sold to slave traders. If they survived the grueling Middle Passage, they faced harsh working and living conditions in the New World. Most never saw their homeland again. The student will know: Various examples of migration and immigration. People move for various reasons. Sometimes they are moving to get away from something (push factors) and other times, they are moving toward something (pull factors). Push factors related to migration and immigration to the United States. For example: Many Europeans immigrated to the American colonies because they experienced religious persecution in their home country and sought a more tolerant society. Pull factors related to migration and immigration to the United States.

2014-2015 Iredell-Statesville Schools – 5th Social Studies

21

For example: In the 19th century, many Americans moved west for better economic prospects. They were willing to make a long and dangerous journey west for the possibility of making a better life for themselves and/or their family.
