I would like to present you with two cases.
A) Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (aka, Texas State Standards)
(See: Scroll to Bottom, Open 4th Grade, find Social Studies Core 4th Grade p. 18)
B) Utah State Core Curriculum
(See: Social Studies Core 4th Grade p. 13)
Now, your assignment. Look at both cores. Tell me how they are the same. Tell me how they are different. Now, tell me which one you would like to use to plan your curriculum. (Hint, the answer isn't Texas.)
Why do they have such a ridiculous core? Seriously? It makes NO sense.
