5 Connecting Themes: 8 th Grade Focus Students should be able to demonstrate understanding of selected themes (depending on the grade level and course) using knowledge and skills acquired during the school year. Understanding of these themes is not the end product of a single unit or lesson, but the product of long term, ongoing instruction. The bold terms represent the connecting themes that appear in multiple units throughout the courses. Following the term is a big idea/enduring understanding that gives focus to the theme. Big Ideas/Enduring understandings transcend specific units and courses and increase student understanding and retention of knowledge.

Conflict and Change: The student will understand that when there is conflict between or within societies, change is the result. Conflict Resolution: The student will understand that societies resolve conflicts through legal procedures, force, and/or compromise. Culture: The student will understand that the culture of a society is the product of the religion, beliefs, customs, traditions, and government of that society. Distribution of Power: The student will understand that distribution of power in government is a product of existing documents and laws combined with contemporary values and beliefs. Gain from Trade: The student will understand that parties trade voluntarily when they expect to gain.

Production, Distribution, Consumption: The student will understand that the production, distribution, and consumption of goods/services produced by the society are affected by the location, customs, beliefs, and laws of the society. Rule of Law: The student will understand that in a democracy, rule of law influences the behavior of citizens, establishes procedures for making policies, and limits the power of government. Scarcity: The student will understand that scarcity of all resources forces parties to make choices and that these choices always incur a cost.
