Semester A

Social Studies 2 introduces the concept of a government by first exploring the reason for laws and rules. Students learn about national laws, state laws, and consequences for breaking a law. Learners then explore the role of government and government leaders who uphold the law. Students then study the states (California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, and their own state) and the nation. Learners will explore how American heroes have changed America today before transitioning to a study on the world government, maps, and the environment. This course concludes by spending time looking into the past and relating the past to the student’s life today. Social Studies 2 provides practice and assessments throughout each lesson that target the learning objectives and maximize instruction. By the end of this course, students have both a broad understanding of the world and a specific understanding of how the national and state government impact their own life.Semester A
