Week of Aug. 27th - Aug. 31stAug. 27th - Aug. 31st Indicator

5-1.1 Summarize the aims and course of Reconstruction, including the effects of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Southern resistance to the rights of freedmen, and agenda of the Radical Republicans. (old indicator 5-1.1)

Instructional Strategies 

1. Students write the vocabulary words (Reconstruction, assassination, impeachment) for this lesson in their notebook. They will illustrate each word that lends itself to illustrations. Students include an example sentence to show their understanding of each word’s meaning. A great way to do this is through Verbal Visual Vocabulary Squares. On an index card, students write the word in the center and in each of the four corners write a definition, an example sentence, an illustration, and the word’s part of speech. These can be used later as flash cards. Construct maps, graphs, tables, and diagrams to display social studies information. Quadrant B

2. Compare the two attitudes from the North – 1) South should be punished; 2) South should be re-built. Students debate both viewpoints. Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant D

3. Students write a reaction paper to the news of President Lincoln’s assassination from various points of view – Southern, Northern, African-American, Plantation owner, Yankee soldier, etc. Consider multiple perspectives of documents and stories. Establish chronological order in constructing one’s own historical narratives. Quadrant D

5-1.2 Explain the effects of Reconstruction, including new rights under the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments; the actions of the Freedmen’s Bureau; and the move from a plantation system to sharecropping. (old indicators 5-1.3, 5-1.2 5-1.4)

Instructional Strategies 

1. Students write the vocabulary words for this lesson in their notebook. They will illustrate each word that lends itself to illustrations. Students may include an example sentence to show their understanding of each word’s meaning. A great way to do this is through Verbal Visual Vocabulary Squares. On an index card, students write the word in the center and in each of the four corners write a definition, an example sentence, an illustration, and the word’s part of speech. These can be used later as flash cards. Construct maps, graphs, tables, and diagrams to display social studies information. Quadrant B

2. Students write a journal entry from the point of view of an African American who was a slave and is now running for public office. Include details that reflect an understanding of African American life before and after the Civil War. Consider multiple perspectives of documents and stories. Quadrant C

3. Students should create a flip book with the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.4. Students write the vocabulary words (relocation, Freedmen’s Bureau, scalawags, carpetbaggers) for this lesson

in their notebook. They will illustrate each word that lends itself to illustrations. Students include an example sentence to show their understanding of each word’s meaning. A great way to do this is through Verbal Visual Vocabulary Squares. On an index card, students write the word in the center and in each of the four corners write a definition, an example sentence, an illustration, and the word’s part of speech. These can be used later as flash cards. Construct maps, graphs, tables, and diagrams to display social studies information.

Quadrant A5. Students research to gather information about the support systems African Americans formed to help one

another after the Civil War. Students draw conclusions about the types of adjustments this group of Americans had to make once they gained their freedom. Use texts, photographs, and documents to observe and interpret social studies trends and relationships. Quadrant B

6. Students think about the actions of the Freedmen’s Bureau. They draw a picture and write a one or two sentence summary about the actions of the Freedmen’s Bureau. Quadrant B

 5-3.2 Explain the practice of discrimination and as well as the passage of discriminatory laws in the United States and their impact on the rights of African Americans, including the Jim Crow laws and the ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson. (old indicator 5-1.5)

Instructional Strategies 

1.  Students write the vocabulary words (discrimination, black codes, Ku Klux, Klan, impeachment, segregation)for this lesson in their notebook. They will illustrate each word that lends itself to illustrations. Students include an example sentence to show their understanding of each word’s meaning. A great way to do this is through Verbal Visual Vocabulary Squares. On an index card, students write the word in the center and in each of the four corners write a definition, an example sentence, an illustration, and the word’s part of speech. These can be used later as flash cards. Construct maps, graphs, tables, and diagrams to display social studies information. Quadrant A

2. Students randomly pick a color-coded (green or blue) card first thing in the morning. Let the green card have all of the privileges for the day (first in line, restroom breaks, helpers, run errands, etc.). At the end of the day let students discuss how they felt having a specific color-coded card.

3. Discuss discrimination. Peace Scholars: Creative Conflict Solving, “Conflict Resolution”, T54, T62 and T76. Challenge ad hominem and other illogical arguments (e.g., name calling, personal attacks, insinuation and innuendo, circular arguments). Quadrant B

4. Students research the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and discuss why it took over 100 years for African Americans to truly have civil rights. Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant C

5. Students research how people in other parts of the world are still discriminated against based on sex, ethnicity, religion, etc. Explain change and continuity over time. Quadrant C

5-3.3 Summarize the significance of large-scale immigration to America, including the countries from which the people came, the opportunities and resistance they faced when they arrived, and the cultural and economic contributions they made to the United States. (old indicator 5-3.4)

Instructional Strategies1. The United States grew in agriculture and industry during the late 1800s. This was largely due to the number of

immigrants coming from other countries. Students should come up with some problems that were faced by the Americans and the immigrants during that time. Make a T-chart on the board with one column labeled Americans and one column labeled immigrants. Construct maps, graphs, tables, and diagrams to display social studies information. Quadrant A

2. As a result of all the people coming to America, cities in the United States began to grow very fast. This led to problems in these large, overcrowded places.

First, list all the positives and negatives of cities in chart form. Next, list the problems that people who live in cities deal with today and those problems of the past. Compare/contrast the two time periods’ problems using a Venn diagram.

Construct maps, graphs, tables, and diagrams to display social studies information. Quadrant A3.  Divide the class into 4 groups, assigning each a group of immigrants: Asian, Mexican, European, and African

American. Students research each groups arrival in our country, answering the following questions about each: Why did this group leave their country? Upon arrival to the U.S., where did the majority of this group settle? What jobs did they find? Explain how Native Americans treated this group.

Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant C

4. Host a “cultural feast.” Assign willing students to bring an international food that has become popular or common in America because of the massive immigration of 1870. Examples are as follows:

French: omelet, French Fries, cheese cake Italian: lasagna, spaghetti Mexican: taco German: sauerkraut Japanese: sushi Russian: beef stroganoff African-American: okra Ireland: soda bread

You might begin by allowing students to volunteer to represent a country, or the countries may be drawn at random. Play multi-cultural music during the feast. Quadrant C

5. Students choose a cultural group, Mexican, Chinese, Polish, etc. Pretend they have immigrated to America and are writing a letter to family members left behind. A date should appear at the top. In the letter they should tell what America is like to them. Tell where they are living and what the conditions are like. Describe their workday and wages. They should end their letter by telling their relatives how they feel about their decision to immigrate. Consider multiple perspectives of documents and stories. Quadrant B

6. Students work with a partner to identify causes of a specific social problem related to mass immigration. Quadrant B

5-3.4 Summarize the impact of industrialization, urbanization, and the rise of big business, including the development of monopolies; long hours, low wages, and unsafe working conditions on men, women, and children laborers; and resulting reform movements. (old indicators 5-3.3 & 5-3.5)

Instructional Strategies 

1. Andrew Carnegie was an entrepreneur in his day. He learned about the steel business while on a trip to Britain. He came back to the United States and sought out people who would invest in a small steel mill he wanted to start for himself. Business turned out to be good and he made large profits that he used to start more steel mills. By also purchasing iron and coal mines, eventually he was able to make steel at a cheaper price than the existing steel mills. They all consolidated. Students start their own business. What type of business would it be? Who would their main competition be? How could they make their business more profitable? Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant D

2. John D. Rockefeller also set up his own business, an oil refinery in Ohio. After less than ten years in the business, he had bought the other 30 oil refineries in the area and made one large company. Rockefeller ended up with a monopoly on the oil business. How is this harmful and why are there now laws to protect against people forming monopolies? Students predict if a monopoly could occur, if it were legal, of the business they have created. Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant B

3. Students research online stores for price comparison. Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant C

Distinguish between past, present, and future time. Use texts, photographs, and documents to observe and interpret social studies trends and relationships. Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant B

3. Students write a news story. Students imagine they are reporters for an American newspaper. They write new stories about the development of radar and other technological advances and how they have changed the way soldiers fight. Distinguish between past, present, and future time. Use texts, photographs, and documents to observe and interpret social studies trends and relationships. Interpret calendars, time lines, maps, charts, tables, graphs, flow charts, diagrams, photographs, paintings, cartoons, architectural drawings, documents, letters, censuses, and other artifacts. Quadrant D

4. Divide students into groups and briefly discuss with students the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. Each group researches one of the following questions:

Who developed the atomic bomb? What political and military factors led President Truman to order the atomic bombing of Japan? What alternatives were available to him? On what grounds do Truman critics question his decision? In your opinion was the decision to drop the bomb on Japan the right one? Explain your reasoning.

Hold a debate for the two sides to argue their points.5. Distinguish between past, present, and future time. Use texts, photographs, and documents to observe

and interpret social studies trends and relationships. Consider multiple perspectives of documents and stories. Quadrant B

6. Review weapons introduced and used during WWI. Then discuss weapons introduced and used during WWII. Students make a chart to compare weapons of WWI and WWII. Discuss each weapon’s effectiveness. How do these weapons compare to the ones we use now for war? Distinguish between past, present, and future time. Use texts, photographs, and documents to observe and interpret social studies trends and relationships. Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant B

Winter BreakInstructional Strategies 1. As a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States has taken an increasingly active role in

addressing the issue of global terrorism. Students will debate on why the United States centered its attention on the terrorist group known as al Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden. (The United States has directed its efforts by taking military action in Afghanistan, against the Taliban government suspected of protecting bin Laden, and Iraq, against Saddam Hussein suspected of encouraging and allowing terrorists to train freely in his country. The Taliban government in Afghanistan was defeated and a newly elected democratic government is beginning a new era. The Saddam Hussein-led government in Iraq was defeated. Free elections were held in Iraq; however the fighting between rival factions of Islamic militants continues to threaten the stability of the new democratic government. The United States continues to be committed to the rebuilding process of Afghanistan and Iraq as well as establishing democratic governments in each nation.) Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant C

2. Choose a pen pal from a soldier in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. As a class write each soldier asking the same questions, such as: What’s a typical day like? What type of food do you eat? What do you do when you are not on patrol? Where are you from? When you look outside, what type of land do you see?The students prepare charts or discuss the comparisons of the two sites. Use texts, photographs, and documents to observe and interpret social studies trends and relationships. Quadrant D

3. Students research Homeland Security/war on terrorism and compare how things have changed in America since 9/11. Distinguish between past, present, and future time. Quadrant C

4. Students create a mural timeline. Divide students into groups to find pictures of the following events: pre-Sept. 11, 2001, 9/11, post 9/11 (war on terrorism). Glue pictures onto large pieces of bulletin board paper and have students write about where they were on Sept. 11, 2001 and what they remember. Do they think 9/11 should be a national holiday? Why or why not? Locate, gather, and process information from a variety of primary and secondary sources including maps. Quadrant D
