3 GRADE 2 Civics and Government Participate in rule setting and monitoring activities considering multiple points of view. (authority, responsibility, justice)* evaluate rules based on the need to protect individual rights and common good Identify services provided by local government Evaluate how individuals, groups, and communities manage conflict and promote justice. (justice)* Give examples of appropriate and inappropriate use of power and the consequences. (v authority)* select people for positions of authority Identify local leaders and their functions Cooperate with others in groups to establish mutual goals *There are four key concepts that are foundations of democracy: authority, responsibility, privacy and justice. Two are addressed explicitly in the K and Gr1 standards authority and responsibility, respectively. Understanding age-appropriate notions of privacy (school v home, for example) and justice (fair responses to wrongs and injuries), along with authority and responsibility, are appropriate and necessary in the early grades (and beyond). These are important themes that continue throughout all grade levels. GRADE 3 Civics and Government Describe how different levels of government provide services and protect citizens Describe the responsibilities of citizens in their community and state. GRADE 4 Civics and Government Explain the organization and functions of Oregon government Demonstrate the ability to use basic Parliamentary procedure Describe and evaluate how historical Oregon governments affected groups within the state (citizens, foreigners, women, class systems, minority groups, tribes) and how those groups affected historical Oregon governments Explain the process of Oregon statehood. GRADE 5 Civics and Government Describe and evaluate how colonial and new states governments affected groups within their population (e.g., citizens, slaves, foreigners, nobles, women, class systems, tribes) and how those populations affected colonial and new states governments Compare and contrast tribal forms of government, British monarchy, and early American colonial governments Identify principles of U.S. democracy found in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. As written, this is too advanced for Gr5. For example, separation of powers is a key principle but is not explicitly found in the documents. (Perhaps NOT A FINAL DOCUMENT FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY Page 2 Oregon Department of Education January 2011
4 another approach would be to ask:) Describe the importance of the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, Articles of Confederation, and Bill of Rights Describe the historical (or philosophical John Locke s natural rights, for example) foundation of the U.S. constitutional government. including colonial experiences, the Declaration of Independence, and Articles of Confederation Explain the origins and relationships of the three branches of government and separation of powers Describe how national federal government affects local and state government and local and state governments affect federal government Describe civic ideals (e.g.,including but not limited to: freedom, rule of law, equality, responsibility, privacy, justice, civic participation, common good, civic virtue, tolerance, accountability, transparency, free and fair elections). GRADE 6 Civics and Government Draw Contrasts among various groups early forms of government forms of groups in the Western Hemisphere (e.g., indigenous, colonial) Describe and evaluate how governments of early civilizations in the Western Hemisphere affected groups within their population (e.g., citizens, slaves, foreigners, nobles, women, class systems). (Is 6.16 above needed in addition to 6.17? Perhaps 6.17 encompasses 6.16.) Describe and evaluate current forms of government in countries in the Western Hemisphere Describe common interests and evaluate examples of collaboration within the Western Hemisphere. GRADE 7 Civics and Government Describe the role of citizens in various governments in the Eastern Hemisphere Compare and contrast early forms of government via the study of early civilizations (tribal, monarchy, democracy, theocracy, and oligarchy) in the Eastern Hemisphere Investigate current government issues in the Eastern Hemisphere and how they relate to other countries including the United States Identify the characteristics of democratic government Draw Contrasts among how current governments serve their citizens (e.g., trade, imperialism). This is an interesting list. What if this standard was interpreted to mean governments serving their people by protecting individual rights, providing for the common good, and other civic-related principles?) Compare and contrast the impact of indigenous governments to imperial governments. Awkward phrasing. What exactly is this asking? NOT A FINAL DOCUMENT FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY Page 3 Oregon Department of Education January 2011
5 7.30. Analyze the significance of the Magna Carta, Hammurabi s Code and other documents on the development of modern governments. What other documents? Evaluate situations for common interests among nations and evaluate global collaboration. Current or historical? GRADE 8 Civics and Government Explain the rights and responsibilities of citizens in the United States and identify the origins of these rights and responsibilities Use historical evidence to determine and support a position about important political values, such as freedom, democracy, equality, or justice and express the position coherently. ( coherent expression strikes me as being a Writing standard, not that this skill isn t necessary in civics, as well!) Describe the varied forms of local governments in North American colonies and identify the interests that the governments were serving (tribal relations, enfranchisement). local does this mean town, commonwealth, state, territory, or? Compare and contrast the British government s impact on American colonists to the colonists expectations of how they should be served (effective governance) Contrast the impact of the Articles of Confederation as a form of government to the U.S. Constitution Compare and contrast how European governments and the United States government interacted with Native American peoples Examine the development activities of political parties and interest groups and their affect on events, issues, and ideas Examine and analyze important United States documents, including (but not limited to) the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, Bill of Rights, 13 th -15 th Amendments Examine important Supreme Court decisions prior to 1880 and the impact of the decisions on government practices, personal liberties, and property rights Analyze the changing definition of citizenship and the expansion of rights.
