Assignment Calendar
Course Description
This course has two main purposes. First, I will assist you in creating grade‐level artifacts (proofs) to demonstrate your mastery of South Carolina’s Grade 5 Social Studies standards. Second, I will prepare you for the SC Grade 5 end-of-year exam. It is my job to teach you and facilitate your review of the procedures required to complete scholarly products, and I will provide you with feedback to help you develop a deep understanding of the skills required for exam success. You are expected to achieve Met or Exemplary marks on your end-of-year exam without regard to where you are beginning the year.

This labeled map will help you to remember where key parts of the US are when we are discussing test questions. :)
A major part of the Grade 5 Social Studies Standards (South Carolina) is understanding the role of discrimination in US History. Look at the periods of US History as they unfold. Look at how they play together. Remember WHEN we are in US history, and remember how people are affected by all of that progress. Then, think about people who suffered (often times greatly) as we became a world power. There will be questions on the exam about those people groups who suffered for the sake of progress.
Child labor was 100% legal during the Industrial Revolution, about 1876-1900. Children could work 13-hour work days for only a few dollars each week! Can you imagine that? Even 8-10 year olds were working in factories to feed their families and their selves. Could you do it?
Labor Unions and the Labor Movement
The Industrial Revolution and the Assembly Line
This is a rough list of important periods of US History thanks to Quia, the study site. Please note that there were some things that happened together. The periods of US History are not separated into nice, neat categories. I have marked for you where the bulk (the most) of Westward Expansion took place. Keep in mind that the Indian Removal Act was signed in 1830.
