US History I – Curriculum Guide 3


This document was developed and board approved as part of the district’s ongoing initiative to write and revise curricula in an effort to ensure they are properly aligned with New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) as it applies to all core content areas and grade levels. Special emphasis was placed on identifying power standards and career and college readiness skills so that students are exposed to the critical skills that they must develop at each grade level and throughout their K-12 educational experience. It is the expectation that this document is used at the classroom level as a guide to address skills that are essential to ensure endurance, leverage, and readiness for the next level of learning among all students. While the teaching of the identified critical skills is nonnegotiable, the curriculum guides offer suggested assessments and learning activities that teachers may use to address the essential skills when teaching. The curriculum guides are not prescriptive in nature but rather serve as a resource that identifies critical skills and offers a menu of enduring understandings, essential questions, assessments, vocabulary, teaching activities, and differentiation options that new and seasoned staff members can use to facilitate teaching and learning. This document also contains important information on the NJSLS and the PARCC Assessment as a quick reference for educators in all content areas and grade levels.

New Jersey Student Learning Standardsfor

Social Studies

INTRODUCTIONSocial Studies The digital age has transformed social studies education, allowing 21st-century learners to transcend the limits of time and place and experience historic events virtually. By expanding their learning networks through online collaboration with experts and other students from around the world, New Jersey social studies students develop an increased depth of understanding of our global society. At the same time, their understanding of the fundamental principles and values of American democracy and citizenship provides the conceptual framework that allows them to make informed decisions about local, national, and international issues and challenges.

Mission: Social studies education provides learners with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives needed to become active, informed citizens and contributing members of local, state, national, and global communities in the digital age.

Vision: An education in social studies fosters a population that: • Is civic minded, globally aware, and socially responsible. • Exemplifies fundamental values of American citizenship through active participation in local and global

communities. • Makes informed decisions about local, state, national, and global events based on inquiry and analysis. • Considers multiple perspectives, values diversity, and promotes cultural understanding. • Recognizes the implications of an interconnected global economy. • Appreciates the global dynamics between people, places, and resources. • Utilizes emerging technologies to communicate and collaborate on career and personal matters with citizens of

other world regions.

Intent and Spirit of the Social Studies StandardsAll students receive social studies instruction from Preschool through grade 12. The challenges of the 21st century are complex, have global implications, and are connected to people, places, and events of the past. The study of social studies focuses on deep understanding of concepts that enable students to think critically and systematically about local, regional, national, and global issues. Authentic learning experiences that enable students to apply content knowledge, develop citizenship skills, and collaborate with students from around the world prepare New Jersey students for the 21st-century workplace. The natural integration of technology in social studies education allows students to overcome geographic borders, apply scientific and mathematical analysis to historical questions and contemporary issues, appreciate cultural diversity, and experience events through the examination of primary sources.

The New Jersey social studies standards and indicators reflect national and state standards and other documents published by the National Center for History Education, National Council for Social Studies, National Council for Geographic Education, Center for Civic Education, National Council on Economic Education, Mid-Continent Research on Education and Learning, National Assessment of Educational Progress, and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.2 Social studies instruction occurs throughout the P-12 spectrum:

At the Preschool level, students participate in interdisciplinary activities that promote cultural awareness, sensitivity to individual differences, and respect for diversity.

In grades K-4, students learn fundamental concepts about government, citizenship, geography, economics, and history. The focus of instruction is on developing an understanding of core democratic values, the rights and responsibilities of American citizens, and how key people and events contributed to the development of the American heritage. Exploration of cultural universals enables students to realize how the availability of resources, the changing environment, and innovation impact everyday life.

In grades 5-8, students build upon K-4 foundational content. Through instruction in U.S. History and World History/Global Studies, they begin to analyze the implications of government structures and economic policies for individuals, communities, nations, and global relationships. The study of migratory patterns and belief systems that in the past led to cooperation and conflict among groups of people enable students to realize the significance of cultural transmission in today’s global society. Relevant activities that help students connect content knowledge to current issues and that promote service learning empower students to become civic-minded and socially active.

In grades 9-12, students continue to study U.S. History and World History/Global Studies. They consider historical viewpoints in order to analyze the role of the individual in society and the significance of fundamental documents to basic human rights. Socratic discussion groups and debate activities enable students to develop sound reasoning and effective communication skills. Opportunities to collaborate with students from around the world and experts in the field, and to develop innovative solutions to real world problems on the local, national, and global levels, mirror the 21st-century workplace and allow students to practice important career skills. By the end of grade 12, students have a heightened understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship between past and present events, recognize patterns of interactions, and understand the impact of events in an interconnected world.

Revised StandardsThe 2014 Social Studies Standards provide the foundation for creating local curricula and developing meaningful assessments. Minor revisions were made to the 2009 Social Studies Standards for one of the following four reasons - to provide clarity, increase accuracy, adjust pedagogical expectations or to address grammatical issues. The revisions that were made are intended to clarify the document and do not reflect major changes to the standards. In addition, several new skills were added to the Skills Table to reflect the expectations of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects.

The Role of Essential QuestionsKey essential questions recur throughout the study of history. They provoke inquiry and lead to deeper understanding of the big ideas that enable students to better comprehend how the past connects to the present. The essential questions created for this project, which follow, were used to frame content goals and to inform the development of the cumulative progress indicators.

A. Civics, Government, and Human Rights How do citizens, civic ideals, and government institutions interact to balance the needs of individuals

and the common good? How have economic, political, and cultural decisions promoted or prevented the growth of personal

freedom, individual responsibility, equality, and respect for human dignity? B. Geography, People, and the Environment

How do physical geography, human geography, and the human environment interact to influence or determine the development of cultures, societies, and nations?

C. Economics, Innovation, and Technology How can individuals, groups, and societies apply economic reasoning to make difficult choices about

scarce resources? What are the possible consequences of these decisions for individuals, groups, and societies?

How have scientific and technological developments over the course of history changed the way people live and economies and governments function?

D. History, Culture, and Perspectives How do our interpretations of past events inform our understanding of cause and effect, and continuity

and change, and how do they influence our beliefs and decisions about current public policy issues? How can the study of multiple perspectives, beliefs systems, and cultures provide a context for

understanding and challenging public actions and decisions in a diverse and interdependent world? Organization of the Standards The organization and content of the 2014 social studies standards reflects N.J.A.C. 6A:8-5.1(a)1.iv., which requires at least 15 credits in social studies, including satisfaction of N.J.S.A. 18A:35-1 and 2; five credits in world history; and the integration of civics, economics, geography, and global studies content in all courses.

Standard 6.1 U.S. History: America in the World applies to grades P-12; at the P and K-4 levels, content is organized by strand only; at the 5-8 and 9-12 levels, content organized by era and strand.

Standard 6.2 World History/Global Studies applies only to grades 5-12; at both the 5-8 and 9-12 levels, content organized by era and strand.

Standard 6.3 Active Citizenship in the 21st Century applies to grades P-12; at all levels (P, K-4, 5-8, and 9-12) content is organized by strand only.

Standard Grade Level Organization6.1 U.S. History: America in the World P-4 By strand only

5-8 By era and strand9-12 By era and strand

6.2 World History/Global Studies 5-8 By era and strand8-12 By era and strand

6.3 Active Citizenship in the 21st Century P-4 By strand only5-8 By strand only

9-12 By strand only

The organizational scheme of the social studies standards highlights the interrelationship among government/civics, economics, and geography during each time period throughout history. (For a full listing of the eras studied, see the Social Studies Timeframe Table.) In addition, the integration of social studies content and skills is essential for understanding and for developing habits of mind that are necessary for students to become informed citizens and contributing members of society. Thus, four key social studies skills (chronological thinking, spatial thinking, critical thinking, and presentational skills) have been identified and elaborated for the three K-12 grade clusters (K-4, 5-8, 9-12). These skills should be systematically integrated into instruction and assessed in conjunction with content. (See the Social Studies Skills Table).

Coding of IndicatorsFor standards 6.1, grades P-4, and for standard 6.3, all grades, each indicator code should be interpreted as follows:

6.1. 4. A. 1 standard number grade strand indicator

For standards 6.1 and 6.2, grades 5-12, the inclusion of the era (see the Social Studies Timeframe Table) impacts the coding of each indicator as follows:

POWER STANDARDS

“Given the limited time you have with your students, curriculum design has become more and more an issue

of deciding what you won’t teach as well as what you will teach. You cannot do it all. As a designer, you must

choose the essential.” (Heidi Hayes Jacobs, 1997)

Power Standards are a subset of subset of the complete list of standards/indicators for each grade and each

subject. They represent the “safety net” of indicators that students must learn prior to exiting current grade

level. While all standards and indicators are of equally important, it is critical to narrow the standards and

indicators by distinguishing the “essentials ones.”

US History I

Course Description

This course will internationalize United States history. Each unit will be approached from a political, economic, social, and environmental point of view, and with a lens that looks at U.S. history from each point view. The Scope and Sequence of the US History I course will represent the final stages of Perth Amboy High School’s History/Social Studies courses’ instructional shifts to literacy skills-based and thematic approach to history. Within each unit guide, there will be essential questions that address each theme within the unit. Each theme will be represented with the acronym seen below after each essential question. The themes covered in each unit will be:1. Human and Civil Rights – The struggle to achieve Democratic Ideals (HCR)2. Movement and Its Environmental Impact (MEI)3. U.S. Economy in the Global Context (EGC)4. National and International Security Concerns of the U.S. (NISC)

Each unit guide will cover these four basic themes in order for Perth Amboy students to continuously be exposed to global issues, as well as domestic issues, which will undoubtedly affect their lives. Each theme is represented in the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards and will correlate directly with Common Core State Standards. Students can benefit from consistency and cohesion in these four thematic areas throughout the History/Social Studies curricula.

The Essential Questions and Enduring Understandings based on the necessary and important content are provided and can lay the foundation for the development of common formative and summative assessments. The major student learning content objectives for this course are:1. To learn how to participate in a democratic society2. To learn to participate in the world as global citizens3. To critically analyze the content they are taught and learn how to apply it to their present and future

The purpose of the curriculum is to provide students with exposure to primary and secondary sources in order that students may analyze, evaluate, and synthesize material that enables them to successfully acquire and strengthen skills that they will utilize throughout their lives. The curriculum will give students tools to allow them to constantly engage with socio-political, economic, and historical or other academic material. The goals of the curriculum are aligned with Peter Seixas’ view of the disciplinary approach, which says, “let us provide [students] not only with interpretations of the past but with the tools...allowing them to engage, at some level, in the ongoing debates and conversations about the past, rather than uncritically accept any particular version” (Seixas, 33).

time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and

audiences.New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Technology




Enduring Understandings Essential Questions

Students will understand that:Content:

The Gilded Age dramatically changed the gap of income and standard of living between the poorest Americans and the richest Americans. Developments during the Second Industrial Revolution led to a new array of consumer products and leisure activities.Theodore Roosevelt began the U.S. conservation and preservation policies and many national parks are still preserved todayThe progressive movement allowed for political, social, and economic opportunities while addressing injustices and inequalities for a larger number of people.Elected progressive politicians made several changes at the local, state, and federal levels to reduce the influence of big business, protect consumers, address social ills, and enhance the standard of living for Americans.During the Progressive Era, the federal government deviated from its traditional belief that laws for social welfare should be left to the states and began to pass laws that regulated such areas as meat production, product labeling, and child labor.

Skills:Contextualization requires several steps:

Use context/background information to draw more meaning from documentInfer historical context from document(s)Recognize that document reflects one moment in changing pastUnderstand that words must be understood in a larger context

Students will ask:Content:

How did the political, economic, and social conditions of the Gilded Age lead to the Progressive Era? (EGC)How did scientific and technological advances affect American culture and environment? (MEI)Why did policies of conservation of American land come about? (MEI)To what extent did progressive political reforms successfully combat the social and economic ills created by a rapidly industrializing society? (HCR)How successful were the Progressive Era Presidents in leading reform efforts? (NISC)What role, if any, should the government play in economic, social, and political matters? (NISC)

Skills:What does it mean to contextualize?
