1 Lake County Schools 2nd Grade Social Studies Curriculum Map REVISED June 3, 2009

2 Grades K-3 Required Instruction for Social Studies The Florida Legislature has mandated certain instructional initiatives by specific legislation. These mandates are not assigned to particular grade levels or subject areas, but are intended for broad implementation. Compliance should be appropriate to the developmental level of students and should fit reasonably within the frameworks of specific courses. The following list contains the required instructional mandates that apply to Social Studies classes. Some of these requirements [such as F.S (2)(d)] may be implemented in every public school classroom. Others may fit precisely into one or more specific courses. The highlighted items are the ones most likely to be addressed, in full or in part, in Grades K-3. This does not imply, however, that non-highlighted items cannot be addressed as appropriate. The 2003 Florida Statutes, Title XLVIII, Public Education, Chapter 1003, Course of Study and Instructional Aids, required instruction states: (1) Each district school board shall provide all courses required for high school graduation and appropriate instruction designed to ensure that students meet State Board of Education adopted standards in the following subject areas: reading and other language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign languages, health and physical education, and the arts. (2) Members of the instructional staff of the public schools, subject to the rules of the State Board of Education and the district school board, shall teach efficiently and faithfully, using the books and materials required, following the prescribed courses of study, and employing approved methods of instruction, the following: (a) The content of the Declaration of Independence and how it forms the philosophical foundation of our government. (b) The arguments in support of adopting our republican form of government, as they are embodied in the most important of the Federalist Papers. (c) The essentials of the United States Constitution and how it provides the structure of our government. (d) Flag education, including proper flag display and flag salute. (e) The elements of civil government, including the primary functions of and interrelationships between the Federal Government, the state, and its counties, municipalities, school districts, and special districts. 2

3 (f) The history of the Holocaust ( ), the systematic, planned annihilation of European Jews and other groups by Nazi Germany, a watershed event in the history of humanity, to be taught in a manner that leads to an investigation of human behavior, an understanding of the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping, and an examination of what it means to be a responsible and respectful person, for the purposes of encouraging tolerance of diversity in a pluralistic society and for nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions. (g) The history of African Americans, including the history of African peoples before the political conflicts that led to the development of slavery, the passage to America, the enslavement experience, abolition, and the contributions of African Americans to society. (h) The history of the state. (i) The study of Hispanic contributions to the United States. (j) The study of women s contributions to the United States. (k) A character-development program in the elementary schools, similar to Character First or Character Counts, which is secular in nature and stresses such character qualities as attentiveness, patience, and initiative. Beginning in school year , the character-development program shall be required in kindergarten through grade 12. Each district school board shall develop or adopt a curriculum for the character-development program that shall be submitted to the department for approval. The character-development curriculum shall stress the qualities of patriotism, responsibility, citizenship, kindness, respect, honesty, self-control, tolerance, and cooperation. (l) In order to encourage patriotism, the sacrifices that veterans have made in serving our country and protecting democratic values worldwide. Such instruction must occur on or before Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Members of the instructional staff are encouraged to use the assistance of local veterans when practicable Recitation of the Declaration of Independence.-- (1) To educate students about the sacrifices made for freedom in the founding of this country and the values on which this country was founded, the last full week of classes in September shall be recognized in public schools as Celebrate Freedom Week. Celebrate Freedom Week must include at least 3 hours of appropriate instructions in each social 3

4 studies class, as determined by each school district, which instruction shall include an in-depth study of the intent, meaning, and importance of the Declaration of Independence. (2) To emphasize the importance of this week, at the beginning of each school day or in homeroom, during the last full week of September, public school principals and teachers shall conduct an oral recitation by students of the following words of the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. (3) Student recitation of this statement shall serve to reaffirm the American ideals of individual liberty. Upon written request by a student s parent, the student must be excused from the recitation of the Declaration of Independence. 4

5 Social Studies Skills and Concepts Matrix K-12 This Social Studies Skills and Concepts Matrix is designed to demonstrate to the classroom teacher the vertical alignment of essential skills and concepts LCS students are expected to master at various stages throughout their PreK-12 education. It is constructed so that teachers can clearly determine the introduction, development, mastery, and reinforcement stages of selected Social Studies and Language Arts skills and concepts in order to facilitate achievement in the Social Studies. This matrix is not intended to be used as a checklist; rather, it is intended for teachers to reference throughout the school year to ease the planning process. It will also ensure uniform acquisition of these skills and concepts by students across the district, as each skill/concept is included in the Social Studies Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Alignment. The Social Studies Skills and Concepts Matrix encompasses four categories: Geography Skills and Concepts, Research Skills and Concepts, Social Studies Skills and Concepts, and Civic Awareness Concepts. Specific skills and concepts are listed, as well as the introduction, development, mastery, and reinforcement stages at each grade level. The mastery level for each skill/concept has been bolded in order to signify its importance at the specified grade level. The Introduction Benchmark denotes the corresponding Social Studies or Language Arts developmental-level benchmark to each skill/concept introduced. For easy reference, the table of standards and benchmarks uses an identification system that mirrors the structure of the standards organization. Subject: Strand: Standard: Level: The two letters in the first slot identify the subject area, such as SS for Social Studies, LA for Language Arts, etc. The letter in the second slot identifies a strand, such as History; Geography; Civics and Government; Economics; Reading; Writing; Listening, Viewing, and Speaking, etc. The number in the third slot identifies the general standard under the strand. The number in the fourth slot identifies the developmental level: 1 = grades PreK-2 2 = grades = grades = grades 9-12 Benchmark: The number in the fifth slot is the benchmark under the grade cluster within the standard.
