UNDERSTANDING THE CURRICULUM MAPS

Everything begins with the purpose, the Organizing Principle. The OP is like a thesis statement in an essay. It provides the direction for an essay and lets the reader
know what the writer is trying to prove. Similarly, an OP provides direction for a unit of study in a classroom. It lets the student know what you as a teacher are
trying to prove. All the measurement topics, curriculum standards and vocabulary that you teach should come back to the Organizing Principle in some way.

The Measurement Topic reflects the standards created by the Department of Education and the Curriculum Standards reflect the benchmarks created by the
Department of Education.

The Measurement Topics and the Curriculum Standards have been chunked together to allow for a Resource Page to immediately follow the standards/content. The
Resource Page includes textbook alignment, Safari Montage links, websites, Document Based Question (DBQ) lesson plans, teacher hints, assessment and activities
aligned to Florida Reading and Writing Literacy Standards. These are only examples of some of the items you can use to teach the unit.

Considering the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards please keep in mind the Department of Education has determined the content that will be delivered to
students. Please find in the curriculum maps the pacing expected when delivering the content. Additionally, the Florida Literacy Standards are complementary to
the NGSS standards we are expected to teach. The Florida Literacy alignment is found on the Resource Page with example activities.

The maps are designed to help teachers determine areas of coverage and to avoid trying to teach every chapter in a textbook. Instead the maps are designed around
the Organizing Principles and are broken down into Curriculum Standards. Teachers are encouraged to use a variety of resources to teach the content and skills.
The textbook should be one of the resources used.

The mapping teams have done a great job on the maps but something important to know is the curriculum maps are not static documents; they are dynamic and open
to revision. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact the Volusia County Social Studies Office.

HONORS COURSE - Teacher and Student Expectations

Advanced coursework is offered in high school to provide a more rigorous course of study for high school students and to prepare them for advanced work in college. To this end, Social Studies
teachers of Advanced High School courses are expected to utilize a variety of instructional strategies / activities and students are expected to participate in more rigorous coursework to include the
following:

- Instruction should be based on content / skills from the Volusia County Schools Curriculum Map. The course curriculum map should serve as the instructional guide, not a textbook or other
resource.

- Use the unit Organizing Principle as your starting point: have it posted, and review it regularly with your students to provide them with a framework for instruction (remember, it’s like a thesis
in an essay) and a purpose for learning all the unit content. The same holds true for the Curriculum Standards you are focusing on each day. They should be visible and discussed before and
after instruction.

- Social Studies Literacy Strategies should be utilized regularly (Cornell Notes or similar note-taking method, SOAPStone or APPARTS analysis tools, and PERSIA or G-SPRITE categorization
tools).

- Activities should include Document-Based instruction (analytical reading and writing involving individual and collections of primary and secondary sources), methodology affecting the multiple
intelligences and utilizing both individual and cooperative learning (e.g. Geography/History Alive lessons and The DBQ Project Lessons).

- Students should conduct research projects related to the Social Studies Fair.

- Assessment should include both formative assessments and summative assessments. Questions should include Level 1 items that involve low order, foundational knowledge/skills; Level 2
items require students to infer or draw conclusions; and Level 3 questions require more abstract thought, thinking beyond the information at hand.

- Writing for Understanding is not only the name of a TCI strategy but is an essential element in the learning process. Students should be engaged in higher order writing on a regular basis, short
and extended responses, more in-depth essays, and authentic writing. Students must be able to produce historical writing, that is, they must be able to take a position on a subject (thesis) and
defend it with examples (facts) and sound reasoning (logic).

- Students should keep a Notebook as they help students organize information (previews, teacher directed activities, and process assignments), they provide cohesion and structure to a unit of
study, and they place responsibility for learning on students (e.g. an AVID or Interactive Student Notebook).

- Teachers should assign, and students should complete targeted homework - students should be expected to complete homework regularly but homework shouldn’t be assigned simply for the
sake of giving homework. Homework can include preview or process activities, vocabulary/concept building, work related to projects, etc.
o Previews involve activating prior knowledge, preparing students for the next topic of instruction.
o Process activities relate to content/skills recently learned where students are involved in metacognition.

Important Events Observed by Volusia County Social Studies Courses

Sept 18-22 Constitution Week
All social studies courses will study one of the most important documents in United States history. Constitution Week commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S.
Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787, recognizing all who, are born in the U.S. or by naturalization, have become citizens.
(Teachers will receive further instruction from content area specialist)

September Celebrate Freedom Week

the month
Sept 25-29

September 15- Hispanic Heritage Month
October 15 Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American
citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under
President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was
enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin
American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and
September 18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.

November Native American Heritage Month
What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of
the U.S., has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose.

February Black History Month
February is "Black History Month," a time to commemorate African-Americans who have changed the world.
Celebrating Black History began in 1926, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard Ph.D., initiated "Negro History Week." Dr. Woodson, a historian, chose the second week in
February because it included the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, the Bicentennial (200th birthday) of the U.S.A., the week-long observance
was extended to the entire month of February in order to have enough time for celebratory programs and activities.
(Teachers will receive further instruction from content area specialist)

March Women's History Month
Women’s History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the
week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week." Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as
"Women’s History Week." In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March
1987 as “Women’s History Month." Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each
year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as
“Women’s History Month.”

• Look for the One Drive Shared Folder containing resources for each Unit
• Students will identify with demand rather easily, but sometimes struggle with supply.
• Save the math on elasticity for honors level students if you do it at all. The concepts behind elasticity and total revenue are more important

in understanding price determination.
• Marginal analysis is about how businesses decide how much to produce and how much to charge. Make this a step by step process as you

go through examples and tables from fixed, variable, and total costs.

Page 17 12th Grade Economics

Volusia District Social Studies Office 2017-2018

Assessment • On marginal analysis, emphasize the profit-maximization rule, that is, profit is maximized where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
Oftentimes, you will see tables that will list the same amount of profit for two different levels of production (e.g., for 8 workers, marginal
Florida Literacy cost = $12 and marginal revenue = $20, with a profit of $807; for 9 workers, marginal cost = $20 and marginal revenue = $20, with a profit
Standards of $807). The reason why profit is maximized where MC = MR is because the fixed costs are now spread out over a larger amount of
revenue gained. When that happens, total cost per unit goes down and profits go up. Teachers will return to this idea when they teach

• Create a demand/supply schedule and graph, demonstrating the laws of demand and supply. Indicate the best selling price as well as levels of
elasticity.

• Identify on a demand/supply graph where a price ceiling and a price floor would be in relation to equilibrium, and give an example of each.
• Using marginal cost analysis complete a production cost schedule and indicate where optimal level of production would be.

• (McGraw Hill) Assessment System

Activities

Create human supply and demand graphs with your students and give them scenarios that would indicate shifts of either one.
Students should indicate what happened to price and quantity, and what specifically caused the shift of supply and/or demand.

Students could then write a business plan considering the scenarios from the above activity.
