Social Studies Syllabus 2018-2019The goal for 21st Century Learners in 5th grade is to use Inquiry Cycle to examine the idea of change. The close examination will not only focus on who, why, and how events but ultimately the outcomes of these events: the impacts of change. While investigating the power of change, students will develop a sense of civic-mindedness by examining how and why groups and individuals work to establish better forms of government; refine historical-thinking skills by interpreting historical sources to generate insights on why change occurs; search to explain how the influence of groups and individuals factor into economic decision-making; and apply geographical-reasoning by conducting inquiries into how cultural and environmental outcomes change over time and are impacted by natural and man-made events.
