Goal: Washington academic standards: Social studies, Grade 5

## 1. History · Understands how historical events inform analysis of contemporary issues and events.

- [Vocabulary: historical thinking](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-historical-thinking/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of historical thinking — source, evidence, primary source, secondary source, artefact, chronology, chronological order, BC/BCE, AD/CE, century, decade, era, period, timeline, excavation, archaeologist, interpretation, corroborate, bias, perspective — and apply these terms when discussing how we know about the past and how reliable our knowledge is
- [Understanding People in Their Own Time](https://ai.page/c/understanding-people-in-their-own-time/index.md): Understand that people in the past saw the world very differently from us — judge their actions by the context they lived in, not only by today's values

## 2. History · Understands that there are multiple perspectives and interpretations of historical events.

- [Evidence Versus Interpretation](https://ai.page/c/evidence-versus-interpretation/index.md): Distinguish between historical evidence and historical interpretation — evidence is what survived, interpretation is the argument a historian builds from it, and the same evidence can support different arguments

## 3. History · Understands and analyzes causal factors that have shaped major events in history.

- [Culture and Experience Shape Emotions](https://ai.page/c/culture-and-experience-shape-emotions/index.md): Understand that emotional responses are shaped by personal experiences, culture, and context — the same situation triggers different emotions in different people because of their backgrounds and past experiences

## 4. Geography · Understands the geographic context of global issues and events.

- [Global Trade](https://ai.page/c/global-trade/index.md): Why countries trade with each other; imports and exports; how goods travel around the world; that different countries use different currencies

## 5. Economics · Understands the economic issues and problems that all societies face.

- [How the Economy Works](https://ai.page/c/how-the-economy-works/index.md): What an economy is; producers and consumers; supply and demand; why prices change; the basics of how markets work

## 6. Economics · Understands the government's role in the economy.

- [Taxes & Public Services](https://ai.page/c/taxes-and-public-services/index.md): What taxes are and why people pay them; how taxes fund schools, hospitals, roads, and emergency services; that governments decide how to spend tax money

## 7. Civics · Understands civic involvement.

- [Social Enterprise](https://ai.page/c/social-enterprise/index.md): Using business skills to help others or solve social and environmental problems; making money AND making a difference; examples of social enterprises
- [Vocabulary: ethics and citizenship](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-ethics-and-citizenship/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of ethics and citizenship — bullying, cyberbullying, bystander, upstander, peer pressure, digital citizenship, rights, responsibility, and ethical — and understand the distinctions between these closely related terms
- [Community Rights and Responsibilities](https://ai.page/c/community-rights-and-responsibilities/index.md): Understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of a community — that everyone has a right to be treated with respect and to feel safe, and that with rights come responsibilities to treat others the same way

## 8. Civics · Understands the purposes and organization of tribal and international relationships and U.S. foreign policy.

- [Global Citizenship](https://ai.page/c/global-citizenship/index.md): Understand what it means to be a citizen in an interconnected world where decisions in one place affect people elsewhere; explore global issues (climate justice, forced migration, global health, poverty) through an empathy lens, distinguishing facts from value judgements; engage with the ethical tension between obligations to those close to us and obligations to distant strangers; introduce evidence-based giving and effective altruism as one framework for thinking about global responsibility; develop a personal, reasoned stance on global citizenship that acknowledges complexity

## 9. Social Studies Skills · Deliberates public issues.

- [Helping Others Resolve Conflicts](https://ai.page/c/helping-others-resolve-conflicts/index.md): Mediate conflicts between others — helping two friends who are arguing by listening to both sides, helping them see each other's perspective, and guiding them toward a fair resolution
