1 Mississippi Social Studies Framework Narrative Summary for FOURTH GRADE (MISSISSIPPI STUDIES/REGIONS) The major emphasis of the fourth grade framework is Mississippi as an area of the earth and a political region. Mississippi should be studied in various contexts, including physical features, climate, agricultural production, industrial development, and economic productivity. Cultural regions of the past and present should be included. Basic social studies tools such as a map, a compass, and a globe should be utilized. History should be included in units of study to show how Mississippi has changed over time. Economic concepts such as resources, scarcity, and exchange should be used to show how regions in Mississippi and the world interact. Additionally, civic concepts should be developed and applied to those skills necessary for citizenship participation in a democratic society. Teachers are preparing s to operate successfully in the 21st century. This is done by sensitizing children to many diverse people, cultures, and changing environments. The framework is comprised of five content strands: Domestic Affairs, Global Affairs, Civil Rights/Human Rights, Economics, and Culture. The content is expected to be taught by infusing social studies skills into the pedagogy of the course. The social studies curriculum should be taught in a developmental sequence. This means that the instruction proceeds from the simple to the complex, beginning with the child s immediate geographic world and expanding to the world, using history, civics, and economics to develop the child s knowledge and perspectives. The expanding theme that is incorporated in this framework refers to a curriculum progression in the study of people from self, families, communities, cities, regions, the United States, and to the world.
