MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS District Pacing Guide- Social Studies GRADE LEVEL OR COURSE TITLE: United States History Course Code: 2100310

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The grade 9-12 United States History course consists of the following content area strands: United States History, Geography, and Humanities. The primary content emphasis for this course pertains to the study of United States history from Reconstruction to present day. Students will be exposed to the historical, geographic, political, economic, and sociological events which influenced the development of the United States and the resulting impact on world history. So that students can clearly see the relationship between cause and effect in historical events, students should have the opportunity to review those fundamental ideas and events which occurred before the end of Reconstruction.

Honors/Advanced courses offer scaffolded learning opportunities for students to develop the critical skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation in a more rigorous and reflective academic setting. Students are empowered to perform at higher levels as they engage in the following: analyzing historical documents and supplementary readings, working in the context of thematically categorized information, becoming proficient in note-taking, participating in Socratic seminars/discussions, emphasizing free-response and document-based writing, contrasting opposing viewpoints, solving problems, etc. Students will develop and demonstrate their skills through participation in a capstone and/or extended research- based paper/project (e.g., history fair, participatory citizenship project, mock congressional hearing, projects for competitive evaluation, investment portfolio contests, or other teacher-directed projects).

The following pacing guide replaces the Competency-Based Curriculum for Social Studies as the required curriculum for grades K-12 in Miami-Dade County Public Schools.

Please note the following important general information regarding the Pacing Guides:  The Pacing Guides outline the required curriculum for social studies, grades K-12, in Miami-Dade County Public Schools.  Social Studies Pacing Guides have been developed for all elementary grade levels (K-5) and for each of the required social studies courses at the middle and senior high school levels.  The Social Studies Pacing Guides are to be utilized by all teachers, grades K-12, when planning for social studies instruction.  The Pacing Guides outline the required sequence in which the grade level or course objectives are to be taught.  The Pacing Guides outline the pacing in which instruction should occur. Specifically, the Pacing Guides are divided into 9 week segments and provide an estimate of the number of traditional or block days needed to complete instruction on a given topic. Teachers should make every effort to stay on pace and to complete the topics in a given nine weeks. Slight variations in pacing may occur due to professional decisions made by the teacher or because of changes in school schedules.  NOTE: Content benchmarks that are highlighted in red are benchmarks that are tested on the End of Course Exam for U.S. History- 11 th grade.There are 18 tested content benchmarks and one tested skill benchmark.  NOTE: Associated with each red highlighted benchmark is a link to a lesson plan (highlighted in yellow) complete with all readings, handouts, a detailed lesson plan, and a pre-post quiz to be used during instruction in order to emphasize the importance of tested benchmarks.  NOTE: Associated with each tested End of Course Exam benchmark, is a link to the pages from the Item Specifications which provides a clarification and breakdown of the benchmark; highlighted in blue.  NOTE: Skill benchmarks that are tested on the End of Course Exam for U.S. History are highlighted in green throughout the pacing guide. Said skill benchmark is embedded in each content lesson plan. Separate skill lesson plans do not exist.  NOTE: Also Assessed Benchmarks are highlighted in purple throughout the Pacing Guide. These Also Assessed Benchmarks fall under the scope of the 18 tested Benchmarks. Although no lesson plans exist for these, content related to the Also Assessed Benchmarks needs to be covered when teaching the 18 tested Benchmarks.

Each Social Studies Pacing Guide is divided into the following headings/categories to assist teachers in developing lesson plans:

 Grade Level or Course Title - The grade level and course title are listed in the heading of each page.  Course Code - The Florida Department of Education Course Code is listed for the course.

 Common Core Literacy and Writing Standards for History/Social Studies, grades 6-12, can be found at the end of each nine weeks Pacing Guide. When planning lessons for instruction, teachers should address these national standards during their teaching of social studies content to ensure a systematic and proven approach to literacy and writing development. The Common Core Standards are research and evidenced-based, aligned with college and work expectations, rigorous, and internationally benchmarked. For a complete listing of all Common Core Standards, please visit: http://www.corestandards.org.

Note: Students’ narrative skills continue to grow in these grades. The Standards require that students be able to incorporate narrative elements effectively into arguments and informative/explanatory texts. In history/social studies, students must be able to incorporate narrative accounts into their analyses of individuals or events of historical import. In science and technical subjects, students must be able to write precise enough descriptions of the step-by- step procedures they use in their investigations or technical work that others can replicate them and (possibly) reach the same results.
