1 Grade Seven History and Social Science: United States History, 1865 to the Present Grade 7 Curriculum Loudoun County Public Schools Patricia Coggins, Instructional Supervisor

2 The purpose of this curriculum is to lay out the conceptual outcomes for instruction. The instructional strategies used will then build the learning towards those outcomes, while assessment will determine if the outcomes set forth in the curriculum have been achieved. This curriculum document is organized to help teachers plan and carry out authentic Learning experiences that allow students to explore, discuss, and meaningfully construct concepts and relationships in contexts that involve real-world problems and projects that are relevant to the learner. In this document, each unit s learning outcomes are listed first, followed by ideas for making the content more authentic for students, and ideas for driving or challenging questions that allow the students to build an understanding through an inquiry process. There are five units in the curriculum. Since the foundations of the units are conceptual, they encompass and call for the study of more than just the Virginia SOLs for US History 1865 to the Present. SOL connections are listed in red following each learning outcome. This means that when teachers focus on the outcomes and the concepts they will include in instruction, they are naturally and organically embedding the Virginia State Standards.
