Social Studies Curriculum Framework (Grades 5-6)
Description en-US:
Grades 5-6 Social Studies builds on the foundational knowledge of civics/government, economics, geography, and history, gained in Grades K-4. The course strands, content standards, and the student learning expectations (SLEs) are meant to be taught in an integrated manner, not in isolation. Social studies skills move from basic to more sophisticated and are used in combination to access and comprehend social studies content. Students develop foundational knowledge regarding patterns of change over time and ways people view, construct, and interpret history. The Grade 5 history strand focuses on U.S. History from the beginnings through the Revolutionary Period; whereas, the Grade 6 history strand focuses on World History from the beginnings through the middle of the first millennium. The history strand in Grades 5-6 is organized chronologically using the Eras and time periods from The National Center for History in the Schools (NCHS). The civics/government, economics, and geography strands correlate to the historic eras.
