1 Fifth Grade Social Studies Curriculum Guide Iredell-Statesville Schools

2 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 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. 2

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 American Indians, one might utilize multiple sources from varying points of view. Note: This Clarifying Objective combines historical content and skill development. First, students will need to evaluate the relationship between Europeans and American Indians within the context of leadership, beliefs and fears. Next, students will need to assess the accuracy of available historical information about both groups. 11

12 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. 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. Social issues that were a source of conflict and how those issues impacted the development of the United States through Reconstruction. Economics issues that were a source of conflict and how 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 and eventually formed their own nation. Political issues that 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). Battles that started wars, ended wars, and were turning points in wars through Reconstruction (e.g., the Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War, the Battle of Yorktown ended the American Revolution).

14 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 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 environment affects settlement patterns. Physical environment can determine the way that people meet basic needs such as food and shelter. 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. Colonists secured a safe water supply, planted crops for food, and began growing profitable tobacco. 5. G.1.2 The student will understand: Human activity can modify the physical environment. Humans are capable of improving and/or exploiting their physical environment. 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 14

15 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. 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 often influence individual or group decisions to leave or settle in a place. Political factors, like government stability or instability, can influence settlement patterns. Economic factors, like the availability of jobs or natural resources, can influence settlement patterns. 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. 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. For example: In the 19th century, many Americans moved west for better economic prospects. They were willing to make a long, and sometimes dangerous, journey west for the possibility of making a better life for themselves and/or their family. Essential Vocabulary: physical environment, technological innovation, migration, immigration 15
