In 5th grade social studies, students will examine history from the year 1900 through today. Beginning with the events that lead up to World War 1, students will investigate conflicts, cultures, and geography while identifying God’s presence throughout history and in the modern world. Time periods include WW1, Post WW1, WW2, Post WW2, the Civil Rights Movement, Middle East Conflicts, and the importance of Israel. Lessons within these periods include topics such a science versus technology, animals in WW1, communism versus capitalism, Disney’s role in WW2, diaries from the Holocaust, Asian folktales, and natural disasters. Student work takes place in the form of comprehension questions, choice projects, timelines, class discussions, and more!
