First, the elementary social studies standards goes from kindergarten to fifth grade. It is imperative to note that both the

Q1: Compare and contrast the government, religion, geography, and economy of the three English colonial regions (the Chesapeake area, New England, and Pennsylvania). Be sure to consider the role of race, gender, and ethnicity.

The inclusion of art is included at the section two assessments as an Interdisciplinary Activity. On page 26, the activity requires putting together illustrations of ‘accomplishments of the Maya, Aztec, and Inca in the areas of communication, science, and math. Use your own drawings or use photographs from newspapers and magazines’ (Appleby, Brinkley, and McPherson, 2005). On the textbook online access, the integration of technology exists with interactive websites to enhance the learning experiences for social studies students. ‘The more accurately the K–12 social studies program addresses the contemporary conditions of real life and of academic scholarship, the more likely such a program is to help students develop a deeper understanding of how to know, how to apply what they know, and how to participate in building a future. It is within this context that these social studies standards were created. They pay attention to the specific contributions of history, the social sciences, humanities, fine arts, the natural sciences, and other disciplines,

This unit was design with a main concept in mind, that concept is for students to understand what a region is so they can develop an understanding of California’s regions. The words I will emphasize throughout the unit are region, physical characteristics, natural features, natural resources, valley, desert, mountain, and coast. These words are important for students to understand and use in completing classroom tasks throughout the unit so they understand the content and make sense of what they are reading.

Finally as for the state's surrounding New Hampshire, they are as follows. Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, connecticut, and New York, these are the state’s surrounding New Hampshire. In conclusion please consider this paper for at least A minus, I am pretty sure you will find this work to be of

In the Revolutionary Era of the United States, there were only 13 colonies, or states, after the Revolutionary War. As time grew on, and the idea of ‘Manifest Destiny’ prevailed, our newly found country expanded not only westward, but also to the north and to the south. When these new states formed, the belief of sectionalism became widespread. The three regions would be the North, South, and the West. These “sections” of the country would become different from one another, and in some cases similar, in the aspect of how life was, whether being what industry the region specialized in or how the people lived.

Many years ago, America had two distinct regions known as the North and the South. Although these two regions were apart of the same country, they did not share many similarities. In fact, these regions had many significant differences that set boundaries between Northern and Southern states. These differences included their geographies and climates, economies, and societies and transportation.

Regional economic equality was significant, these states supported a government that favored a managed trade and commercial development. Other states favored free trade due to its export based economy. This division of regions divided supports between empowering the national government and those that supported strong state government.

This lesson should be taught in a sixth grade class. The students do not have to be English Language Learners, (ELL) in order to benefit from this lesson and meet state standards. It is an interactive way to learn about different geographic regions of students in the class.

What was once considered a territory of rural communities and towns grew to states consisting of large urban cities. As the society of the states became more complex and integrated, dependence upon the parent country began to dwindle. As the states matured, their inhabitants were no

Ahmed Alsenan Similarities and Differences between the North and South North and South are terms used by historians to refer to a complex reality in an oversimplified fashion; they imply homogeneity of each of the two distinct regions, but, in reality, each of the two sections was tremendously variegated. Both the North and South represent geographical regions that embraced a considerable degree of dissimilarity in matters climate, geopolitics, demography and topography. Yet the fundamental similarities within each of the two civilizations, which were divided by the Mason-Dixon line, surpassed their internal differences. Then again, the differences between the North and South transcended the difference between the two regions (Harriet). Over the years, the differences and similarities between the two regions have dominated History discourses and elicited mixed reaction within the realm of the American historical Profession.

Reading comprehension may be the most important skill for any student to acquire and is therefore an area of particular interest to educators. Without adequate comprehension skills, students are limited in their reading, analytical and occupational abilities. To many, including the student’s themselves, comprehension or “good reading” skills begin and end with simple decoding. It is thought that if students can ‘read’ and define the vocabulary they are reading, then they also comprehend what is read. True comprehension goes far beyond decoding, however. True comprehension requires visualization of a text, predicting events in the text, making inferences about the text and clarifying what is not

Many numbers and maps relate to American History- the events can cause the area to have some interesting background information. An example is the states that are bordering Mexico (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California) because they have a greater chance of demographics showing a major amount of hispanic/latino people because they can easily cross the border. Is in the Northeast (New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Rhode Island) tend to have bigger populations because that where Columbus first located. As a result less people live in the Midwest, South, and the Northeast. Many U.S. states specialize in agriculture, as result in places like Idaho and Oklahoma where farming is big, less people find a need to attend school.

The market for textbooks is constantly changing. As the demand for certain features in textbooks increases each supplier in the supply chain’s role will change and evolve. Authors need to be aware of the needs of the universities; books need to be concise yet full of information. Authors continuously need to update data and information in all textbooks. Text editors need to keep up with the authors and the ever changing data and information provided to students in textbooks; they need to be able to adapt to other forms of text as well such as e-books. As technology evolves as does the need for better graphics in textbooks. Many students are visual learners and graphic designers need to be aware of this. We have certainly come a long way in terms of graphics in textbooks and the need will only keep increasing. Printing companies also need to be kept in the know, and possibly develop new technology to make it easier to predict the demand for each textbook and even the possibility of e-books being the dominant form of text. As the industry grows and changes as will the roles of each supplier and everyone needs to look toward the future and realize the changes that are happening.
