School District of Palm Beach County K-12 Curriculum: Secondary Social Studies Introduction Use and implementation of the activities contained in the spring packet are optional and voluntary. Activities were selected based on traditionally difficult areas of student skill mastery while at the same time providing worthwhile practice with historical inquiry. Topics were chosen based on Next Generation Sunshine State Standards benchmarks tested on the Florida United States History End-Of-Course assessment. Purpose of the Spring Packet The activities in the spring packet were selected to allow students to experience some fun with history over the spring break while simultaneously supporting practice with skills they will need to demonstrate on assessments near the end of the school year. This method of home-school academic connection serves to maintain acquired skills while students are enjoying their spring break. Activities in this packet are identified by Next Generation Sunshine State Standards specifically targeted to grade level expectations for the students. Each activity has been selected due to its high level of engagement and interest. Background information is High School U. S.

But historians think about history differently. They see themselves as detectives, often unsure about what happened, what it means, and rarely able to agree among themselves. This process of High School U. S. History Spring Packet 2016-2017 Page 2 of 8 School District of Palm Beach County K-12 Curriculum: Secondary Social Studies trying to figure out things you don't already know is as different from mindless memorization as you can get. Procedure: For each set of terms provided, create a graphic organizer (provided) to consider the following criteria. 1) Develop a critical question about the terms provided. Your critical question will connect to why these terms are significant or important. 2) Although the key terms** have been provided for you, they must be defined, discussed, and placed in context in order to be understood. 3) How can you separate the critical question into smaller pieces? Your questions and answers should represent a sequence of logical thinking and lead to an answer of the critical question. 4) Write a short summary statement that answers the critical question. 5) How can you explore the main idea in more depth? Write a statement of how you would do that or what that would look like. 6) Does this connect to any issues or events now? In this section you are asked to think about long-term effects or historical impact. Use your textbook and internet sources to complete the graphic organizer. High School U. S.
