SEVENTH GRADE: M/J CIVICS

Introduction: The District Curriculum Resource guide is based on the course description provided by the Florida Department of Education, includes the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS), contains the essential social studies knowledge all middle school Civics students must acquire, the Florida Standards (FS), and identifies the skills all students must develop. The NGSSS are content specific, and should guide a teacher to go more in depth with the course material they are teaching. The curriculum guide provides support to identify areas of coverage required verses teaching all the chapters in a textbook. The District Curriculum Resource guide has embedded Florida Standards (FS) in all organizing principles to enhance learning opportunities and instructional delivery to ensure student success. Florida Standard for Literacy in History/Social Studies are not meant to replace content standards, but rather to supplement content with appropriate skills to prepare students to be college and career ready. Teachers are encouraged to use a variety of resources to teach both content and skills. To address the concern of the high mobility rate within the school district the order of instruction should be followed by all middle schools. The culmination of this course will be an End of Course Assessment (EOCA) developed by The Florida Department of Education and administered electronically to middle school civics students. It is important to note that district curriculum resources are not static documents and are open to the revision process.

Course Description:

2106010 M/J CIVICS Course The primary content for the course pertains to the principles, functions, and organization of government; the origins of the American political system; the roles, rights, responsibilities of United States citizens; and methods of active participation in our political system. The course is embedded with strong geographic and economic components to support civics education instruction.

2106020 M/J CIVICS Advanced The seventh grade Advanced Civics course offers scaffolded learning opportunities for students to develop the critical skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation in a more rigorous and reflective academic setting. Students are empowered to perform at higher levels as they engage in the following: analyzing historical documents and supplementary readings, working in the context of thematically categorized information, becoming proficient in note-taking, participating in Socratic seminars/discussions, emphasizing free-response and document-based writing, contrasting opposing viewpoints, solving problems, etc. Students will develop and demonstrate their skills through participation in a capstone and/or extended research-based paper/project (e.g., history fair, participatory citizenship project, mock congressional hearing, projects for competitive evaluation, investment portfolio contests, or other teacher-directed projects).

Instructional Practices

Teaching from a well-written, grade-level instructional materials enhances students’ content area knowledge and also strengthens their ability to comprehend longer, complex reading passages on any topic for any reason. Using the following instructional practices also helps student learning:

Reading assignments from longer text passages as well as shorter ones when text is extremely complex. Making close reading and rereading of texts central to lessons. Asking high-level, text-specific questions and requiring high-level, complex tasks and assignments.

Requiring students to support answers with evidence from the text. Providing extensive text-based research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence).

General Information Regarding the Civics Curriculum Guide:

The curriculum resource guide provides curriculum resources and pacing for Civics, grade 7, in Okaloosa County School District. The order of instruction is included as a pacing reference. The guide is divided into 9 week segments and provides an estimate of the number of traditional days needed to complete instruction on

a given topic (Organizing Principle). Civics benchmarks are noted as mastery or introductory. Benchmarks for mastery should be taught in conjunction with introductory

benchmarks as part of comprehensive instruction for the organizing principles. Florida Standards are embedded in the district curriculum resource guide to insure appropriate recursive instruction of the FS. Slight variations in pacing may occur due to professional decisions made by the teacher or because of school schedules. The curriculum resource guide is separated into sixteen distinct sections to help teachers utilize its resources in planning for instruction. OCSD curriculum resource guide should help facilitate high quality instruction to maximize student achievement. Teachers should reflect throughout the year to address yearly revisions to the district curriculum resource guide.

Organizing Principle 14: Reexamine Civics Active Learning Lessons

Students will understand that civics explores the relationship between the citizen, government, and society

and is more than the study of history, the structure and function of government, as it also includes an

examination of the rights and duties of citizens as well as the role of the citizen in political, social, and

economic systems and be able to provide a narrative of their experience as a knowledgeable, responsible, and

actively engaged citizen.
