    As I read and thought about the Social Studies Standards, I considered looking into the standards for First grade. I think that children in this grade level are at a good age to better understand Social Studies. I do realize that teaching Social Studies starts from pre-school however it can be further be understood by older aged students. The topics that are covered according to the Standards first grade should introduce settlements and cultures, civilizations, and different places around the world. In the standards for first grade there are five strands.…

    Chapter one, elementary social studies curriculum, in Elementary social studies, brings back memories from when I was in school doing current events, clipping newspapers, other cultures and foods. In chapter one it discusses how teachers from North Carolina rated social studies as the 3rd priority in teaching. Instead they focus on reading, writing and math before social studies. It’s believed that the poor attitude and lack of preparedness from the teachers affect the student’s attitude about social studies. I completely agree with this. If a teacher can smile and greet their students every morning and show interest in their activities then students will want to participate as well. If the teacher comes in grumpy and disregards what should be taught then the students will follow. Social Studies contribute to other subjects as well, such as math, writing and reading and it is just as important. The national council for social studies (NCSS) was established in 1921. It has many state and regional councils that meet annually and send out journals and newsletters to members. The national council of social studies published their standards in 1994 using seven disciplines. These disciplines are history, geography, political science, economics, psychology, sociology and anthropology.…

    It was obvious that Ms. Brown had created a plan for this lesson by observing the progression of the skills that were being taught and that they were presented in a logical order that aided student comprehension. Both the students and the teacher were familiar with the skills and the delivery. She also posts lesson plans online. Objectives and expectations of the lesson were communicated to the students on a special place on the board, at the front of the class with essential questions and " I can" statements. Ms. Brown was able to gain the students' attention for the lesson with a hook type activity. It was an engaging question for the student to answer that was related to the topic. Students worked independently, in pairs and in groups and read a selection either by themselves or with another student. The material was then presented in a graphic organizer by the teacher with illustrations and relevant examples provided by the students. They also read the selection (either our loud to a partner or to themselves) and then the material was displayed in the form of a graphic organizer for the visual learners. Ms. Brown used PowerPoint to present the material.…

    Citizenship education was perceived by the Singapore Government as a critical tool to instill shared national values, patriotism, a sense of belonging and pride, and build an active citizenry. However, in response to the changing dynamics of the world – namely, globalization and interconnectivity (and some might include heightened fears of transnational terrorism post 9/11) – an issues-based social studies curriculum with a global focus was developed (Ho, 2009) to incorporate international case studies so as to approach the subject of national building using a global focus.…
