Rationale for Each Unit

On the 2017-2018 School Calendar for Albemarle County, I counted approximately 35 weeks of instructional days, leaving 2 weeks at the end
of the year for review. The Social Studies curriculum I have mapped out takes place over the span of approximately 17 weeks, which is roughly
half of the instructional weeks. I envision a flip-flopping of sorts between doing a Social Studies Unit, followed by a Science Unit, and so forth.
I have a lot more to learn about curriculum mapping, and decided to try to keep a roughly even balance between instructional time for Social
Studies and Science. This way, I might gain a better understanding of which units might need more time, or less time, and adjust as I
experiment. I think Id use a curriculum map like this as a starter, but would definitely take notes throughout the year and adjust for the next
school year, accordingly.

Citizenship & Pledge of Allegiance: August 23 September 13


I decided to start with the Citizenship unit because I think it ties in seamlessly with the beginning of the year activities in establishing
and building classroom community. The content on the responsibilities of citizens can begin with the relevance of that discussion to our
classroom, and then we can build on that by expanding those responsibilities out into our school, local community, and country. I also included
the standard related to the Pledge of Allegiance because it is said at the beginning of the school day for the rest of the year, so I thought it
would be important to touch on what it is and help students understand why we say it.

United States of America: October 4 October 25


Like I stated above, the unit on Citizenship will provide a segue into discussing what it means to be a Citizen vs. a citizen. This unit will
be building upon the first unit on citizenship, allowing students to compare and contrast and to make connections across units and content. I
chose to include the standards for American symbols in this unit rather than the first in order to make connections between citizenship and the
American symbols.

American Indians: November 15 December 15


I decided to continue with the American Indians unit next. I talked to my mentor teacher from my placement and asked her for her
reasoning as to why she decided to teach her American Indians unit during the November/December time window, early in the year. She said
she chose to have this unit be taught before the unit on Influential Americans & Holidays because they were here first, as simple as that. I really
liked her take on this, so I decided to model my curriculum map after her idea. I think it also makes sense to do so in chronological regards.

Influential People & Major Holidays: January 29 February 20


The next unit I chose is the Influential People & Major Holidays unit. I decided to keep these all in one unit, rather than spreading them
across the curriculum to align with the actual occurrences of the holidays, because I thought it might be too difficult for students to keep track
of when all the holidays are when they are occurring across the entire span of the year. I also think that it will be helpful for review, because
once all of the influential people and major holidays have been covered, when we do come across the actual observance of the holiday, we can
go back and review and discuss it. Additionally, it will allow students to make better sense of holidays and people that have already been
celebrated, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Maps & Globes: March 19 March 30


This unit is on maps & globes. I thought it would make sense to have this unit here because students will have relevant reference points
to which they can use the amps and globes effectively. For example, we will have covered the American Indians unit, as well as influential
people and holidays, and students can use what they know and apply their map skills to that knowledge.

Innovations & Resources: April 23 May 7


I decided to make this the final unit, because I think that these concepts provide space for students to synthesize concepts we have been
learning throughout the course of the year and really bring their wealth of knowledge together. I think this unit provides a lot of real-world
thinking and real-world application in a more direct way, so students can make connections between the past and the present.
