In some cases the document is not even the document that goes along with that time in history, however this is only to show you the types of things that would be appropriate.  If you see bullets then they are required.  Review the Standards and Objectives for your grade level.

“The ideal result of standards implementation will be to move classroom teaching away from a focus on worksheets, drill-and-memorize activities, and elaborate test-coaching programs, and toward engaging, challenging curriculum that supports content acquisition through a range of instructional modes and techniques, including many that develop student cognitive strategies.” David T.

 Electronic Resource Packages have been realigned to the Next Generation Standards. sr/I_menu.cfm?CFID= &CFTOKE N= sr/I_menu.cfm?CFID= &CFTOKE N=  We are also in the process or realigning all Instructional Guides, Unit Plans, and PBL’s as well.

 History Clusters are the big Ideas around each year of Instruction  The majority of objectives will not be taught in isolation.  There are some skills and other objectives that are true stand-alone objectives.  Civics, Geography, Economics and Literacy should be combined around the history clusters.  Participants will choose the grade level they work with most often and will attempt to chunk Civics, Geography, and Economics objectives around the history clusters. These objectives may be used multiple times among the clusters.**  **Note: Civics does not have history clusters so they have to create their own clusters.
