Social Science	Chronological/ Spatial Thinking 1) Students know the key events of the historical eras they are studying, and place them in chronological sequence. 3) Students use maps to identify physical and cultural features of neighborhoods, cities, states, and countries that they are studying, both historically and in the present. 4) Students understand that change happens at different rates at different times; that some aspects of a thing can change while others remain the same; that change is complicated and not always what it seems. They understand that change affects not only technology and politics, but also values and beliefs. 6) Students understand that the present is connected to the past. They identify both similarity (continuity) and difference (change) between past and present. 5) Students use multiple primary and secondary sources to construct a narrative of a historical event. 5 . Determining Historical/ Geographical Significance 1) Students explain how certain events and decision's had consequences for others. They evaluate the consequences as positive or negative (or a combination of the two). 2) Students show the connections, causal and otherwise, between particular historical events and larger social, economic, and political trends and developments. 5) Students understand that different historical events, people, and trends may have different significance for different groups or individuals. 6) Students understand the significance of place in people's lives and in shaping historical events.
