Primary Source Analysis In The Classroom

The Georgia Department of Education recently approved the Georgia Standards of Excellence to replace the Georgia Performance Standards. This paper will compare and contrast the elementary social studies section of the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) and the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS). According to the GADOE (2015), these standards provide expectations for instruction, assessment, and student work. The comparison of the two sets of standards will be accomplished by noting the similarities and differences for each set of standards and by revealing the significant changes towards a more discipline-centered approach in the social studies curriculum.

History class is not the only issue among students; the nation’s standardized test also leaves Native students behind their peers. Many questions are “Eurocentric and culturally bias” resulting in many students who have grown in a traditional customs unable to answer the questions (Robertson). Many school curricula does not build on the students strength of the student, it is only if the strength and skill is of the dominate culture that it will get attention (Landsman and Lewis 182).

In History there are World History Part I, World History Part II, World History Part III, United States History Part I, United States History II & III , Civics and Government History, and Social Studies Elective.

To begin, over the course of this semester, I had the opportunity to conduct my history classroom observations at Sierra Vista High. This high school is a public school located in Baldwin Park and is part of the Baldwin Park Unified School District. Sierra Vista High School has a student population of 1,895 students. The student population consists of 90 percent Hispanic, 6 percent Asian, 3 percent Filipino, and 1 percent white. These demographics were shared by the vice principal of the high school. While I was at Sierra Vista High School, I was given the chance to analyze and observe three history teachers. Thus, in this paper I will discuss and share my experiences observing the

Also, the primary sources I will be incorporating in my lessons, which are a song, photographs, documents, and images. Also, the secondary sources I will be using are books, charts, class notes, and the class textbook.

What type of primary source is this? How is this type of primary source different from or unique when compared to other types of primary sources?

In result of The Seven Years’ War Britain controlled American trade and territory. In order to pay for the expenses of the war several taxation acts and military presence were implemented such as the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Currency Act, Quartering Act and the presence of British troops at the colonies. Consequently, Americans who thought these actions violated their political and constitutional liberties opposed these policies with petitions, boycotts, and resistance strategies known as the Imperial Crisis. In January 1776 Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was composed to convince Americans of the need for independence from British rule and establishment of democracy. This pamphlet

Throughout the United States’ primary and secondary schooling system, United States and World History is a requirement for teaching curriculums. However the presence of black history it’s lacking in most schools across the country. Many schooling districts sugarcoat or even completely omit the harsh realities African Americans have faced for centuries. Students who attend HBCUs not only get to learn more about black history, they also get to be apart of it daily. Black colleges give colored youth the chance to learn more about black history in a way that they cannot do at any other institution. This unparalleled experience is why HBCUs are worth keeping

School systems that create classes that actively discuss racial and ethnic identity and history serve as an empowering dynamic. The documentary Precious Knowledge presented a battle over Ethnic Studies classes that were offered at Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) in Arizona during 2009. Divisive issues were not the product of these discussions, but a reluctance of white Americans who held the social, political, and economic privilege. The Ethnic Studies classes that were offered at TUSD empowered the Mexican-American students in the community by allowing them to learn more about their history, who they were, and how they fit into the social structure in the U.S. society. The classes taught the students about the systematic structures within the United States, providing students with a holistic understanding of the racial and ethnic issues relating to their personal social-political position, as well as others in the sociopolitical system. Courses similar to these are critical for students from underrepresented backgrounds and whites to engage in at the high school level because they push both whites and marginalized groups to understand a new perspective from a young

Title of Primary Source: ACCOUNT OF THE SLAVE TRADE ON THE COAST OF AFRICA by ALEXANDER FALCONBRIDGE

The aim of Social Studies is the promotion of civic competence the knowledge, intellectual processes, and democratic dispositions required of students to be active and engaged participants in public life. Proverbs 19:2 (ESV) states," Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way."For example it is essential for there to be commonalities across the grade levels so that there is a scaffolding of concepts to build from one grade level to the next.

I will be teaching a Social Studies unit on cultural geography to 23 third grade students at Fall River Elementary. Students will examine factors that make regions of the United States similar to each other and different from one another. They will learn how regions of the U.S. are connected and depend on each other. The lessons in this unit will utilize interactive maps using student Chromebooks. There will be minimal direct instruction with the majority of each lesson involving cooperative learning groups with hands-on activities. I will check for understanding throughout the unit through observation and completed student work on graphic organizers, story problems and group projects. An assessment will be given at the end
