    UNDERSTANDING THE CURRICULUM MAPS

    Everything begins with the purpose, the Organizing Principle. The OP is like a thesis statement in an essay. It provides the direction for an essay and

    lets the reader know what the writer is trying to prove. Similarly, an OP provides direction for a unit of study in a classroom. It lets the student know

    what you as a teacher are trying to prove. All the measurement topics, curriculum standards and vocabulary that you teach should come back to the

    Organizing Principle in some way.

    The Measurement Topic reflects the standards created by the Department of Education and the Curriculum Standards reflect the benchmarks created

    by the Department of Education.

    The Measurement Topics and the Curriculum Standards have been chunked together to allow for a Resource Page to immediately follow the

    standards/content. The Resource Page includes textbook alignment, Safari Montage links, websites, Document Based Question (DBQ) lesson plans,

    teacher hints, assessment and Activities aligned to the Florida Literacy Standards. These are only examples of some of the items you can use to teach

    the unit.

    Considering the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards, please keep in mind the Department of Education has determined the content that will be

    delivered to students. Please find in the curriculum maps the pacing expected when delivering the content. Additionally, the Florida Literacy Standards

    are complimentary to the NGSS standards we are expected to teach. Florida Literacy Standards alignment is found on the Resource Page with example

    activities.

    The maps are designed to help teachers determine areas of coverage and to avoid trying to teach every chapter in a textbook. Instead the maps are

    designed around the Organizing Principles and are broken down into Curriculum Standards. Teachers are encouraged to use a variety of resources to

    teach the content and skills. The textbook should be merely one of the resources used.

    The mapping teams have done a great job on the maps, but something important to know is the curriculum maps are not static documents; they are

    dynamic and open to revision. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact the Volusia County Social Studies Office.

    ADVANCED COURSE - Teacher and Student Expectations

    Advanced coursework is offered in middle school to provide a more rigorous course of study for middle school students and to prepare them for advanced work in high school.

    After taking Advanced courses, an incoming freshman should be prepared to take and be successful in courses such as AP Human Geography and World History, or Pre-IB

    Government and Economics. To this end, Advanced Middle School Social Studies teachers are expected to utilize a variety of instructional strategies / activities and students are

    expected to participate in more rigorous coursework to include the following:

    - Instruction should be based on content / skills from the Volusia County Schools Curriculum Map. The course curriculum map should serve as the instructional guide, not a textbook or other resource.

    - Use the unit Organizing Principle as your starting point: have it posted, and review it regularly with your students to provide them with a framework for instruction (remember, its like a thesis in an essay) and a purpose for learning all the unit content. The same holds true for the Curriculum Standards you are focusing on each day.

    They should be visible and discussed before and after instruction.

    - Social Studies Literacy Strategies should be utilized regularly (Cornel Notes or similar note-taking method, SOAPStone or APPARTS analysis tools, and PERSIA or G- SPRITE categorization tools).

    - Activities should include Document-Based instruction (analytical reading and writing involving individual and collections of primary and secondary sources), methodology affecting the multiple intelligences and utilizing both individual and cooperative learning (e.g. Geography/History Alive lessons).

    - Students should conduct research projects related to the Social Studies Fair (Geography and History) or portfolios related to Project Citizen (Civics)

    - Assessment should include both formative assessments for learning and summative assessments. Questions should include Level 1 items that involve low order, foundational knowledge/skills; Level 2 items require students to infer or draw conclusions; and Level 3 questions require more abstract thought, thinking beyond the

    information at hand.

    - Writing for Understanding is not only the name of a TCI strategy but is an essential element in the learning process. Students should be engaged in higher order writing on a regular basis, short and extended responses, more in-depth essays, and authentic writing. Students must be able to produce historical writing, that is, they must be able to take

    a position on a subject (thesis) and defend it with examples (facts) and sound reasoning (logic).

    - Students should keep a Notebook as they help students organize information (previews, teacher directed activities, and process assignments), they provide cohesion and structure to a unit of study, and they place responsibility for learning on students (e.g. an AVID or Interactive Student Notebook).

    - Teachers should assign, and students should complete targeted homework - students should be expected to complete homework regularly but homework shouldnt be assigned simply for the sake of giving homework. Homework can include preview or process activities, vocabulary/concept building, work related to projects, etc.

    o Previews involve activating prior knowledge, preparing students for the next topic of instruction.

    o Process activities relate to content/skills recently learned where students are involved in metacognition.

    Important Events Observed by Volusia County Social Studies Courses Sept 16-22 Constitution Week

    All social studies courses will study one of the most important documents in United States history. Constitution Week commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S.

    Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787, recognizing all who, are born in the U.S. or by naturalization, have become citizens.

    (Teachers will receive further instruction from content area specialist)

Celebrate Freedom Week must include at least 3 hours of appropriate instruction in each social studies class, as determined by each school district, which instruction shall include an in-depth study of the intent, meaning, and importance of the Declaration of Independence. (2) To emphasize the importance of this week, at the beginning of each school day or in homeroom, during the last full week of September, public school principals and teachers shall conduct an oral recitation by students of the following words of the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

History.s. 1, ch. 2002-213.

    September 15-

    October 15

    Hispanic Heritage Month

    Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American

    citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under

    President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was

    enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin

    American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and

    September 18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Da de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.

    November Native American Heritage Month What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the

    U.S., has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose.

    February Black History Month February is "Black History Month," a time to commemorate African-Americans who have changed the world.

    Celebrating Black History began in 1926, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard Ph.D., initiated "Negro History Week." Dr. Woodson, a historian, chose the second week

    in February because it included the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, the Bicentennial (200th birthday) of the U.S.A., the week-long observance

    was extended to the entire month of February in order to have enough time for celebratory programs and activities.

    (Teachers will receive further instruction from content area specialist)

    March Women's History Month Womens History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the

    week beginning March 7, 1982 as Womens History Week." Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as

    "Womens History Week." In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Womens History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as Womens History Month." Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year

    as Womens History Month. Since 1995, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as Womens

    History Month.
