UNITED STATES
CORE CURRICULUM COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS
 5th Grade: UNITED STATES
HISTORY - COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS
"Through the lens
of time, students will establish a chronology of critical events in
the various time periods of United States history. It is not the
intent that students study the historical events in depth. The
curriculum is set to teach in three time periods: one half of the
time is to be used in studying the New World and the foundation of
our nation; one fourth, the 19th century (1800-1900); and one
fourth, 1900 to the present. Students will examine the impact of
people and places on the emergence of United States culture and
history. Character and life skills will help students understand
citizenship rights and responsibilities. Using social studies
skills, students will compare governments, geography, and cultures
of Canada and Mexico with those of the United States as students
continue to make world connections."
8th Grade: UNITED STATES
HISTORY I - COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS
"United States
History for grade 8 covers events and issues from the Age of
Exploration through Reconstruction and the western movement,
emphasizing the 18th and 19th centuries. Topics covered will
include, but are not limited to exploration, colonization, the
Revolutionary War, constitutional issues, nation building, the Civil
War, Reconstruction, and the western movement.
Standards 1 and 2 should be integrated throughout the course rather
than taught independently. The remaining standards can be taught
either chronologically or thematically. Although the emphasis of
this course is on the 18th and 19th centuries, additional content
may be covered as time permits."
UNITED STATES
HISTORY II - COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS
"Understanding
United States history is essential for the continuation of our
democratic society. This course will help students make connections
between their world and the rich heritage of United States history.
The course is designed as a survey of American history with an
emphasis on post-Reconstruction America (1876-Present), but should
include a review of the earlier period. The course can be taught
using a thematic approach or in chronological order."
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT CITIZENSHIP - COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS
"The goal of
this course is to foster informed, responsible participation in
public life. Knowing how to be a good citizen is essential to the
preservation and improvement of United States democracy. Upon
completion of this course the student will understand the major
ideas, protections, privileges, structures, and economic systems
that affect the life of a citizen in the United States political
system. This course is recommended for seniors due to their
proximity to voting age."
UTAH
STUDIES - COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS
"Utah is a
state diverse in landscape and people. This course is designed to
help students understand the state of Utah at a deeper level by
reviewing Utah’s early history and particularly emphasizing Utah
from statehood to the present. Students will understand the
interaction between Utah’s geography and its inhabitants, as well as
the formative contributions of Native American Indians, explorers,
and Utah pioneers. The course will also investigate relationships
between government and the people of Utah, the many opportunities
people have to make a living in Utah, the diverse nature of Utah’s
people and cultures, and the impact of contemporary events on the
land and people of Utah. The Utah Studies core is designed to meet
the needs of a semester-length course. Full-year Utah Studies
courses may expand the scope and detail of this course to meet
specific needs."
