For grade 11, Social Studies teachers must carefully balance attention between frequently detailed content standards while supporting inquiry, collaboration and high-impact writing.To support this work, each unit contains a daily lesson framework and a sample daily lesson as guidance. However, please bear in mind that the map is meant to support effective planning and instruction; it is not meant to replace teacher planning or instructional practice. In fact, our goal is not to merely “cover the curriculum,” but rather to “uncover” it by developing students’ deep understanding of the content and mastery of the standards. While the curriculum map allows for flexibility and encourages each teacher and teacher teams to make thoughtful adjustments, our expectations for student learning are non-negotiable. We must ensure all our children have access to rigorous content and effective teaching practices.Weekly GuidanceTo help promote “backward design” in planning, each map begins with recommended essential texts for each week, along with some critical text dependent questions and a set of weekly assessments in the form of standards-aligned writing prompts.In order to assist students with the organization of content, and to aid teachers in assessing this writing, these prompts often include explicit organizational language or recommendations for constructing paragraphs. In each case, care has been taken to ensure that students must produce the appropriate social studies content, while still producing grade appropriate written work.Because of this, these writing prompts will be content oriented, frequently relying on student knowledge for evidence and examples instead of discrete texts. However, practice with text dependent questions and text analysis should be part the daily routine of every class period. Moreover, while teachers are encouraged to supplement these writing tasks with level appropriate multiple choice and short answer assessments as necessary to demonstrate content knowledge as well, writing should be the largest part of any social studies assessment.Vocabulary InstructionStrategies for building vocabulary may be found in Social Studies Appendix A. The tools in Appendix A are cross-disciplinary protocols directly from the new Expeditionary Learning curriculum. Students and teachers both will be able to use these increasingly familiar strategies as a common instructional language for approaching new and difficult academic and content area vocabulary. Teachers are encouraged to become familiar with all of these strategies to understand which ones best meet their instructional needs:Contextual Redefinition….Appendix A Page 58Frayer Model……………..Appendix A Page 59List/Group/Label……...….Appendix A Page 60 Semantic Webbing…..…..Appendix A Page 61SVES (Elaboration)……...Appendix A Page 62Vocabulary Squares….….Appendix A Page 63Word Sorts…………….….Appendix A Page 58Daily Strategies The daily strategies provided in this map are taken from SCS Social Studies Curriculum Appendix B, the Facing History and Ourselves teaching strategy guide. These are high-yield classroom strategies to foster collaboration, careful reading and robust writing. Anchor topics are provided below as a starting point for the protocol, but the strategies can be used with any of the texts provided in the Anchor Text or supplemental texts. Teachers are encouraged to learn these protocols and use them with flexibility to plan strong, adaptable lessons. Separate protocols are called out specifically for use in analyzing texts through the course of the class.
