TRANSCRIPT
NORTH CAROLINA UNPACKING DOCUMENT FOR GRADE 8
The Unpacking Documents for North Carolina K-12 Social Studies Standards were created in collaboration with teachers, NCDPI leadership, andmembers of the NCDPI Social Studies team. These documents are intended to supplement the standard course of study and provide acomprehensive understanding for the teaching of the standards and objectives. The explanations and examples in this document are intended to behelpful in the planning of local curriculum and classroom instruction.
This document will provide:
● Inquiry Strand: the State Board of Education approved indicators for inquiry● Standard: the State Board of Education approved standard(s) for a strand● Objective: the State Board of Education approved objectives for teaching and learning● Mastery of the Objective: a description of how the student should be able to demonstrate mastery of the objective● Students will Understand: understandings that students should be able to arrive at as a result of the instruction● Students will Know: information the student should know● Example Topics: possible content and/or topic ideas that can be used to teach the objective● Example Formative Assessments: possible tasks that can be used to gauge student understanding of the objective
The example topics and example formative assessments provided with each objective are:
● Content examples for instruction that help to build student knowledge and understanding of the objective● Sample assessment activities to gauge learning that may be used to determine whether students are meeting the learning objective● Examples to enhance the student’s ability to make connections across other disciplines and in the real world● Recommendations, with the understanding that PSUs retain local control to determine curriculum
The example topics and example formative assessments provided with each objective are:
● Not meant to be an exhaustive list● Not meant to be content that must be taught all at once● Not a checklist for basic recall or memorization● Not a checklist for assessment for each objective● Not intended to reflect summative assessment items
The Social Studies Glossary of Instructional Terms has been designed to be a tool to provide educators with words and phrases that represent the big, overarching concepts, and ideas that teachers need to know and understand in order to effectively teach the revised Social Studies Standards: View the Glossary of Instructional Terms

Inquiry Strand
The inquiry process for each grade and course within the North Carolina Social Studies Standard Course of Study asks students to inquire, thinkcritically, evaluate sources, use evidence, communicate, and solve problems. Students are asked to practice the skills embedded in the inquiryprocess on a regular basis throughout instruction; these skills should also be combined into an inquiry project at least once during the year orsemester.
Inquiry 6-8The Inquiry Indicators are meant to be used in concert with the content standards in any strand for each grade in the 6-8 grade band. Teachers shouldbe encouraged to use these indicators in every grade level.
Because there is no set number of indicators that should be used in any grade level, the intent is that by the end of grade 8 students will have beenexposed to the skills essential to developing critical thinking in social studies. For this to occur, students must be exposed to inquiry indicators ineach grade.
