At the 5th grade level, social studies includes the study of geography, ancient civilizations, and United States history. A major requirement in social studies is the learning of various vocabulary words and definitions that are related to each chapter in the textbook. The students in my class will be asked to write designated vocabulary words and definitions related to each area of the text that we are covering . This assignment is usually weekly but can depend on the speed at which we cover the material and the length and depth of the chapters. I will identify the chapter being studied, the terms that apply to that chapter, the date the definitions are due, and the date the chapter vocabulary test will be given on the "Social Studies" subpage.
