K-5 Social Studies/Civics Suggested Scope & Sequence: Based on the Wisconsin Standards for Social Studies (2018)
Rating
0.0 stars

The Wisconsin Social Studies/Civics K-5 Suggested Scope & Sequence is divided by grade. Each grade has a theme, with K-2 having a common theme of “place” and 3-5 having a common theme of “Wisconsin and U.S. Studies”. Each grade has 4-10 topics, which could align to local units. This formatting was adapted from the 2018 History and Social Science Framework by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education.

Each topic is further divided into planning ideas tied to specific grade-level indicators from the Wisconsin Standards for Social Studies (2018). These planning ideas include:
• Potential Essential Questions, tied to the standards
• Focusing Questions for the topic
• Driving (DQ) and Guiding (GQ) Questions from the Educating for American Democracy Roadmap
• Specific Social Studies Indicators met with this topic
• Important Terms and Points to Consider
• Supporting Resources to Consider, including lesson plans from trusted resources, and suggested additional texts such as primary sources and trade books.

The essential, focusing, driving, and guiding questions are meant to help guide instruction
and determine quality resources and lessons for use in the classroom.

MissPronouncer - Wisconsin Audio Pronunciation Guide
MissPronouncer - Wisconsin Audio Pronunciation Guide
Rating
0.0 stars

This site has information and an interactive map on audio pronunciation for Wisconsin place names.

Wisconsin has more than 190 cities, 400 villages, 1,000+ towns, and 1,000+ unincorporated places (give or take a few). Learn how to pronounce them all!

More than 5.7 million Wisconsinites live in this Great Lakes state known as America’s Dairyland. Wisconsin — also called the Badger State — became the 30th state of the union in 1848. Did you know Wisconsin has over 15,000 lakes, 33,000 miles of rivers and streams, and is bordered by two Great Lakes and the Mississippi River?

Wisconsin is the English spelling of Ouisconsin, which is the French rendering of Meskonsing, which is the Indian name for the river that runs through the center of the state. Wait, what? The Wisconsin Historical Society writes all about Wisconsin’s Name: Where it came from and what it means.

Wisconsin is home to all kinds of hard-to-pronounce places, from Antigo, Ahnapee, and Allouez to Weyauwega, Wyocena, and Wonewoc. Yes, it’s a challenge, and being bilingual won’t necessarily help.

Note: The use of this site does not meet any Social Studies standards, but with teacher creativity and attention, it could be used to help meet classroom and curricular objectives.
