6. 1. Investigate the World • Students investigate the world beyond their immediate environment. (similar to last year) • Students can • Use knowledge of language and culture to identify issues and frame researchable questions of local, regional, or global significance. • Use their knowledge of language and culture to develop an argument based on compelling evidence that considers multiple perspectives and draws defensible conclusions about a globally significant issue.

7. 2. Recognize Perspectives • Students recognize their own and others’ perspectives. • Students can • Recognize and express their own perspective on situations, events, issues, or phenomena, and identify the cultural, social, economical, political, geographical, and historical influences that inform that perspective. • Examine the role of place, time, culture, society, and resources in the perspectives held by people, groups, and/or schools of thought.

8. Communicate Ideas • Students communicate their ideas effectively with diverse audiences. • Students can • Recognize and express how diverse audiences may interpret and use the same information in different ways and for different purposes and how that affects communication and collaboration. • Explain how individuals, societies, events, and the development of knowledge are influenced by the movement and interaction of ideas, goods, capital, and people.

9. Take Action • Students translate their ideas and findings into appropriate actions to improve conditions. • Students can • Identify and create opportunities for personal and collaborative action and civic engagement to contribute to sustainable improvements and quality of life. • Assess options, plan actions, and engage in civil discourse, considering previous approaches, varied perspectives, political viability, and potential consequences.
