What are the 5 Strands of Social Studies? History Geography Culture Economics Governments

What is History? The record and description of past events including a reason of their causes and results.

Why is it Important to Study History? As we watch the video, remember/record two reasons it is important to study history. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgmNkYUL_Cw

Why is it Important to Study History? To become a well rounded and informed citizen. To build reading, thinking, and writing skills. It can be interesting and relevant to what is going on around you and around the world. To avoid repeating mistakes others have already made.

Words Used Often in Social Studies Summarize - State the main point. Describe - Tell the details of the topic. Explain - Give the answer and give supporting details. Compare/Contrast - Give the similarities and differences. Evaluate - Explain what is good and bad … did it help or hurt its intended purpose?

So, what are we going to learn? The 7th grade Social Studies curriculum is designed to enhance and enrich your knowledge of the world you live in. You will study historical events starting in the 1400s and "time travel" to the present day to connect history to contemporary issues across the globe. You will learn to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize primary sources such as historical letters and political cartoons. You will research, write conclusions, and debate with one another historical events and how they have impacted our present world. The pace will be rapid, with an emphasis on daily reading, writing, discussing, and synthesizing content.

Timelines

How do we know what happened? Primary Sources A primary source is written or created by someone who experienced events at the time they took place. Secondary Sources A secondary source is written by a person or group of people who did not witness an event.

Political Cartoons

What are Political Cartoons? Definition 1: A political cartoon is a drawing or comic strip containing a political or social message portraying persons, things, political events or situations, etc., in an exaggerated way. Definition 2: A political cartoon is a type of drawing used to present opinions, comments, or criticisms of a situation, person, or event. Cartoons help us understand information by presenting in a visual or memorable way. Cartoonists use many different techniques to achieve their goals.

Techniques Caricature - exaggerating one or more physical features Symbols - using a recognizable item to communicate an idea Caption - having the characters speak or summarizing the message in a few words Labeling - Objects or people are often labeled by cartoonists to make it clear exactly what they stand for. Analogy - Cartoonists will ‘draw’ a comparison between two unlike things. Irony - The difference between the way things are and the way things should be.

Process for Analyzing Political Cartoons List the objects or people that you see in the cartoon. Which objects/people are symbols? What do you think each one means? Are there any important clues (words, places, numbers) in the cartoon? Describe what is happening in the action of the cartoon. What is the political or social issue presented in the cartoon?

After Analyzing … You will be able to answer the following questions: What social or geo/physical issue is being portrayed? What is the cartoonist’s position on this issue? What pieces of evidence helped you to draw this conclusion? Who might agree with this position? Who might disagree? Do you feel the cartoonist was effective in communicating this message? Why?
