  1. 10 Themes for social Studies Education Julie Sarah Susan

  2. Standard One • 4SS1.f: Discuss what the U.S. Constitution is and why it is important (a written document that defines the structure and purpose of the U.S. government and describes the shared powers of federal, state, and local governments).

  3. POWER, AUTHORITY, AND GOVERNANCE • Standard 4SS.1:F (Discuss what the U.S. Constitution is and why it is important) Falls under theme 6 of the 10 Themes for social studies education. • Through the study of how people create, interact with, and change structures of power, authority, and governance. • Learning the basic ideals and values of a constitutional democracy is crucial to understanding our system of government. • Students confront questions such as : • What are the purpose and functions of government? • What are the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a constitutional democracy? • How are individual rights protected and challenged within the context of majority rule?

  4. Standard Two • 4SS3.d: Describe the ways in which resources permitted the growth of economies, how these resources have and are being used, and their impact on the emergence of cities in this region.

  5. PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, AND CONSUMPTION • Standard 4SS3.d (Describe the ways in which resources permitted the growth of economies) Falls under theme 7 of the 10 Themes for social studies education. • The unequal distribution of resources necessitates systems of exchange, including trade, to improve the well-being of the economy, while the role of government in economic policy-making varies over time and from place to place. • As a result, a variety of ways have been invented to decide upon answers to four fundamental questions: • What is to be produced? • How is production to be organized? • How are goods and services to be distributed and to whom? • What is the most effective allocation of the factors of production (land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship)?
