California History Social Science Framework and Standards Scavenger Hunt Before completing this activity, answer the following question. Reflection : When did you study California history? What do you remember about those studies? Use the link for the California History Social-Science Framework for this scavenger hunt. Read the introduction to the HSS Framework, Chapter 1, to find the answers to these questions. 1. How does the HSS framework support the preparation of California students for college, career and civic life? The way HSS framework supports California students for college, career and civic life is by providing factual information about the physical and historical formation of mainly California and the world as the basis to understand how important it is to bring about its history and have the opportunity to better understand the world and our place in it. When students are presented with real facts, one can be part of the positive change needed in our society. Knowledge helps and encourages students to be more involved in planning and work toward their financial future, be more involved in our democracy and also vote. While students realize that each of us have the power to create change, we are also learning better communication and writing skills needed to provide better education to other students. 2. Based on the shifts in instructional practices required by the Ca CCSS for ELA/Literacy and the English Language Arts/English Language Development Framework for California Public Schools, what must schools emphasize? The shifts in instructional practices required by the Ca CCSS for ELA?Literacy and the ELA/ELD Framework for California Public Schools must emphasize the collaboration among History-social science teachers and other educators from different subjects to provide a more comprehensive and accessible approach for the highest diverse population of students from public schools that exist in California so they can understand and make sense of the information provided. 3. Who is the framework written for? This framework is written for all students including those who are more than 50% of California's student population who are part of a diverse culture and live in less
privileged areas. This population includes students whose dominant language is other than English, are students of color, and face poverty. 4. Content: How does the framework and standards organize student learning of the content? The framework and standards are organized in a specific and systematic way to motivate students to learn from different perspectives and be able to understand local and worldwide concepts without having to memorize them. What can enrich the study of history? exposed to different sources of information, such as the history of not only the dominant culture, but of other cultures around the world, students can identify themselves and be motivated to learn more about their roots. 5. Inquiry: How do students engage in inquiry? Students in elementary, middle, and high school can engage in inquiry by researching and learning to identify evidence, different points of view, evidence, and learn chronological and spatial thinking. When students have the opportunity to learn throughout the years of primary and secondary schools, they are better prepared and understand concepts better because by practicing inquiry-based instruction, students have developed their critical thinking skills. 6. Literacy: How does involving history–social sciences impact literacy? The impact of literacy when involving history-social science into their curriculum is beneficial to students. Students can be better encouraged to learn to read and write with themes and concepts that are pertinent to them making it more appealing for them. They learn not only basic vocabulary, reading, and writing, but also learn higher vocabulary, increasing their reading comprehension and thus, writing skills. 7. Citizenship: How does citizenship play a role in the history-social science curriculum? Students learn important concepts about their state and what democracy is all about. Learning about real issues, such as geography, world or state history, or the government, students will be better prepared to stand up for their rights in this diverse society and the importance of having their voice and actions heard within the government, as well as claiming all other individual rights as any other citizen. 8. Based on this introduction, what can be found at the end of the framework? Eight appendixes are found at the end of this framework. From Appendix A to Appendix H which encompasses all the goals of the introduction. It also provides evidence of works cited with a bibliography, web links to primary-sources included in this framework.
