- [Vocabulary: working with others](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-working-with-others/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of working with others — cooperate, share, take turns, team, listen, agree, disagree respectfully, and include — and understand that these words describe habits that friendships and group work depend on

- [Similarities & Differences](https://ai.page/c/similarities-and-differences/index.md): Notice and appreciate ways that people are similar to and different from each other — including appearance, family structures, languages spoken, foods eaten, and celebrations observed — and understand that differences make communities interesting

## 7. Citizenship · The student understands how different points of view influence the development of public policies and decision-making processes at national and international levels. The student is expec
