Norms • Stay on task • Participate • Phones on vibrate • Ears on speaker
SLO’s • Choose and expand on activities based on the elements of geography • State the two components of the National Standards for History. • Describe historical and geographical perspective. • State the two major components of social studies.
HISTORY Geography Two major foundations of social studies.
Historical questions ask “When?” “Why Then?(Geography and history, 2011)” “History views people across the dimension of time…”
Past: Common definition-An event of the past. Textbook definition: A perspective of an event. Multicultural perspective seen as a threat to American patriotism.
Put it into Perspective! In three groups, create a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast perspectives of two different groups of people at a given time of NMI administration.
Activity #1 Different Perspectives
National Standards for History • Historical Understanding • Historical Thinking
Historical Understanding 5 components • Social History • Political History • History of Science and Technology • Economic History • Cultural History
Historical Thinking 5 components • Chronological Thinking • Historical Thinking • Historical Analysis and Interpretation • Developing Historical Research Capabilities • Analysis and Decision Making
In the Early Grades • Considerations: • May have difficulty understanding time (months, years, decades and centuries). • Will need a concrete reference to help them place time of event. • Egocentric • Lessons should be focused on • - birthdays, family events, time and interaction, and patterns of interaction • with adults and other family members.
History in Middle Grades • Considerations: • By age of 12, students are more ready to understand abstract ideas. • May still need guidance and concrete experiences. • Hands-on activities will allow students to make learning concrete.
Geography • Geography involves investigating relationships across space of people, places, events and environments. • Geographers seek to understand why things are located where they are and how patterns are related to each other.
Geography is composed of three interrelated components: • Subject Matter- Views earth as home for humans. • Skills- techniques required to explore subject matter and which include asking question and organizing information. • Perspective- ecological and spatial issues.
National Geographic Standards Six Elements of Geography • The World in Spatial Terms • Places and Regions • Physical Systems • Human Systems • Environmental and Society • The use of Geography
Content in Early Grades • Nurture development in their observation skills and encourage to ask questions. • Higher order thinking, going beyond asking “Where is it” to Why is it there”? • They begin to develop some concepts associated with geography as they explore their environment and daily lives.
Content in the Middle Grades • Provide and introduce more complex geographic concepts. • Create activities for active involvement. • Have lesson for students to develop a Hypotheses they can test and apply to state, national and global settings.
Activity #2 In groups of three, choose and expand on activities based on the elements of geography. Use Figure 2-3 and 2-4 on pages 48-50 as a guide. The World in Spatial Terms Places and Regions Physical Systems Human Systems Environmental and Society The use of Geography
