<p> MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Department of Social Sciences GRADE LEVEL OR COURSE TITLE: Eighth Grade- U.S. History </p><p>COURSE DESCRIPTION: </p><p>The eighth-grade social studies curriculum consists of the following content area strands: American History, Geography, Economics and Civics. Primary content emphasis for this course pertains to the study of American history from the Exploration and Colonization period to the Reconstruction Period following the Civil War. 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 explore those fundamental ideas and events which occurred after Reconstruction.</p><p>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 Students are empowered to perform at higher levels as they engage in the following: analyzing historical documents and supplementary readings, working in the context of thematically categorized information, becoming proficient in note-taking, participating in Socratic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). </p><p>Please note the following important general information regarding the Pacing Guides:</p><p> 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: All benchmarks that are considered essential benchmarks are highlighted in yellow.  NOTE: Access Points for students on a Modified Curriculum are highlighted in Grey.</p><p>Each Social Studies Pacing Guide is divided into the following headings/categories to assist teachers in developing lesson plans:</p><p> 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.  Topic - The general topic for instruction is listed; e.g., Westward Expansion.  Pacing - An estimated number of traditional or block instructional days needed to complete instruction on the topic is provided.  Strands and Standards – Strands and Standards from the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) are provided for each topic.  Nine Week Grading Period - Grading periods (1-4) are identified.  Essential Content – This critically important column provides a detailed list of content/topics and sub topics to be addressed during instruction.  NGSSS-SS Benchmarks – This critically important column lists the required instructional Benchmarks that are related to the particular topic. The Benchmarks are divided into Content Benchmarks and Skill Benchmarks. These benchmarks should be identified in the teacher’s lesson plans.</p><p>Department of Social Sciences MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Department of Social Sciences GRADE LEVEL OR COURSE TITLE: Eighth Grade- U.S. History </p><p> Instructional Tools - This column provides suggested resources and activities to assist the teacher in developing engaging lessons and pedagogically sound instructional practices.
