United States History 2019-2020 Scope & Sequence Notes & How to Use this Document This document is intended to replace the Louisiana Department of Education Scope & Sequence for the Jefferson Parish Schools’ U.S. History course. Please use this in conjunction with the JPS Curriculum Map and LDOE Companion Document, both of which have been incorporated into this scope and sequence. This document goes with the 2019- 2020 Student Resource Book. This Scope and Sequence guides your teaching with pacing, priority content information and a sample of activities to support and extend learning. As you deliver initial instruction, you may choose to implement the activities found here (Student Version is the Student Resource Book) and/or use your own activities. The activities found in this document/student version DO NOT cover every GLE in the priority content. Anything in black in this document is what students see in their books (1 per unit). Imperative to any instruction is teaching the grade level expectations with fidelity. As stated in the Louisiana Scope and Sequence Documents: To be productive members of society, students must be critical consumers of information they read, hear, and observe and communicate effectively about their ideas. They need to gain knowledge from a wide array of sources and examine and evaluate that information to develop and express an informed opinion, using information gained from the sources and their background knowledge. Students must also make connections between what they learn about the past and the present to understand how and why events happen and people act in certain ways. To accomplish this, students must: 1. Use sources regularly to learn content. 2. Make connections among people, events, and ideas across time and place. 3. Express informed opinions using evidence from sources and outside knowledge. Teachers must create instructional opportunities that delve deeply into content and guide students in developing and supporting claims about social studies concepts. For access to all documents, additional resources and the 6-12 social studies community of Jefferson Parish Schools, please join the Google Classroom- JP Social Studies Teachers 6-12 (class code: axsa5q).
