Social Studies - Grade 5

Description

Social Studies - Grade 5 (1 of 2) begins with a study of the causes and effects of the American Revolution. Students investigate how British taxation following the French and Indian War created the discontent that led colonists to declare independence. The course then explores the causes of the drafting of the US Constitution. The articles of the Constitution, the powers of each branch of government, and the citizens’ rights protected in the Bill of Rights are examined. Social studies skills are applied, and primary sources, maps, graphs, and timelines are used to analyze this period of United States history.
