FOREWORD

The basic responsibility of the Chelthsfordsocial studies program is the development ofinformed citizens fully aware of the need forinsuring the dignity and worth of the individ-ual, for personal involvement in improving thesociety they have inherited, and for r?cog-aiZing the interdependence of all peoples. Inthe largest sense, then, the goal of the socialstudies program in the Chelmsford PublicSchools is to prepare students for intelligentparticipation in a free society.

order to develop a program to achievethis goal a variety of materials were examinedal'Jng with recent research and curriculumdevelopmeit in social studies education. Astrong feel2ng developed as the result of thisstudy, that materials finally selected for usein the Chelmsford Schools should develop con-cepts and skills from both the affective andcognitive domain, that the materials fosterthe development of the prc ;:ess of inquiry, andthat the program incorporate the systemsapproach in its use of media.

Following extensive field testing inChelmsford classrooms, materials developed atthe Project Social Studies Curriculum Centerat the University of Minnesota were selectedto provide the curricula framework for theChelmsford program. The resource units thataccompany this guide were revised in light ofclassroom experiences by teams of classroom'teachers working during the summer of 1968.

These units are designed to guide theteacher in his use of the multi-media kitsthat are found in the classroom and in use ofthe 16 mm films and videotapes availablethrough the Chelmsford media center. It isstrongly suggeted by the teachers who workedwith the program that the classroom teacher dotwo things before introducing the unit to hisstudents: read the background paper providedon the culture and then survey the unit andits related materials. Since these units areresource units, teachers are encouraged to addtheir own ideas for media and teachingstrategies. Teachers are also encouraged todevelop resource units of their own using theframework of generalizations, skills, andattitudes outlined by the program.

The Chelmsford Public Schools are indebtedto Dr. Edith West, Director of MinnesotaProject Social Studies, for making the Project'smaterials available for field testing and forher advice and counsel during the field testperiod. Special thanks are also extended tothe classroom teachers who field tested andrevised the resource units for use in theChelmsford Schools.

GOALS FOR THE COURSES

The resource units make it clear that thesecourses are designed to teach attitudes andskills as well as generalizations and concepts.This section deals briefly with objectives forthe two-year sequence. Charts appended tothis guide indicate more specifically the wayin which the specific goals are developed in anumber of units.

Behavioral Goals Related to Values

The two-year sequence is designed to helppupils develop a number of the values identi-fied by the Center's staff as goals for theentire social studies program. For example,the units are built to try to developcu.fiosity about social data and respect forevidence even when it contradicts prejudicesand preconceptions. The choice of units atthis level also indicates rather clearly thestaff's concern for developing an appreciationand respect for the cultural contributions ofother countries, races and religions; forhelping pupils learn to accept diversity asnatural; and for helping them learn to valuehuman dignity.

Teachers working with these courses forthe first time may be bothered by how tohandle comments and questions which indicatethat children are upset by the values andpractices of people in other societies. Oreof the main purposes of these courses is tounderstand why. people act differently thanwe do, why they believe and value differentthings, and to understand that to these peoplesuch behavior seems natural and right.Children should learn to accept diversity ina nation and in a world in which they must

gated through empirical methods. For example,there is evidence that some of the Kibbutzwomen are not very satisfied with their roleas mothers. Some couples leave the Kibbutzin part because of such dissatisfactions.However, many remain and most of the childrenbrought up in the Kibbutz choose to join aKibbutz movement as adults.

When children express prejudices, theteacher should make every attempt to helpthem understand the behavior and also under-stand that other people may think our waysstrange. Indeed, it might help at times togive children examples of norms in our society_which other peoples find upsettiAg or foolish.It should also help to have children discusssome of the differences which exist in.behavior of different families in this country.The teacher may also need to ask children tothink once again about the ways in whichother people are like us as well as differentfrom us.

It should not be thought that some of theattitudinal goals are neglected completelymerely because there is no check against themunder a specific unit in the chart on attitud-inal goals. The checks indicate those unitsin which the goals have been kept in mind indesigning specific activities and sometimesthe entire unit approach. ,Many of the otherswill be reinforced in units in which they werenot checked. Two of the qOals are starred inthe chart because they were a major reason forthe focus of the courses but were notstated as individual goals within unit

Goals Related to Concepts and Generalizations

The Center has chosen to identify importantconcepts and generalizations from the varioussocial sciences and has tried to provide forsequential development of them in the K-12 curri-culum. The sequence for grades one and two isinterdisciplinary. It is designed to teachchildren important concepts and generalizationsfrom the fields of anthropology, sociology, andgeography. The concepts taught in the twocourses do not constitute a structure for anyone of the di,-7iplines but are important to oneof them or in some cases to several of them.The staff's point of view about structure insocial science disciplines and the place of struc-ture in the social studies program is presented inbackground papers #'s 1 and 2. Teachers inter-ested in structure in individual disciplinesshould read the backgrOund papers on those fields.It should be pointed out that as children movethrough the curriculum, they will develop somestructure for each of the disciplines. It was notthought wise to introduce separate structures inthe first two grade levels.

It is important to remember that the cultureconcept from anthropology has been used to tiethe entire curriculum together. Even though theobjectives for a particular procedure within a

Many of the detailsabout how people eat, for example are includednot because it is important to know thesedetails. They are included to teach childrenthat all people must eat (a cultural uni-versal) but that what they eat and how theyeat may differ from .society to society (cul-tural diversity). Data on Algonquin utensilsmay be interesting in and of themselves, butthey are not important except to develop anappreciation of the skills and culture of theAlgonquin and to teach children someting aboutthe difference in economic functions betweenAlgonquin families and our own. Or somedetails can be used to help children learnthat pictures may not be accurate and so tohelp them see the importance of evaluatingsources .of information. In other words,details about cultures are included onlybecause they are needed to teach certain con-cepts, generalizations, skills and attitudeswhich are important goals of the program.

The Rationale for the Number of Objectives

These resource units differ from many unitsin part because of the large number of general-izations to be taught. The teacher shouldremember that these generalizations are rein-forced at later grades also. This means thatit is not necessary or wise to spend too muchtime clinching a single generalization in anyone unit. Rather, children should generalizeand hold these generalizations as tentative- -as hypotheses to be tested more fully as theystudy other families around the world. Atthe end of the second grade level, they shouldbe able to generalize more fully because they

The first and second grade coursesemphasize a teaching strategy which en-courages pupils to find out things forthemselves rather than one which emphasizesthe absorption of generalizations presentedready-made by the teacher or a book. Chil-dren are asked to set up hypotheses bydrawing upon previously-learned conceptsand generalizations. They decide that someidea they have learned in the past might helpthem make sense out of this new situation.They cannot be-sure, but they think that thismight be so. Inquiry also involves gatheringdata, evaluating sources, testing hypotheses,and generalizing from their findings.

The staff does not believe, nor does thetwo-year sequence of courses reflect a be-lief that all learning must be developedby this type of teaching strategy. Somegoals call for having pupils learn to gaininformation by watching films or listeningcarefully to stories or someone who istalking to them. Other goals relate todeveloping a value for human dignity andan acceptance of diversity. There is aplace, therefore, for children to find outwhat others think about certain kinds ofdata. They may do so by listening to theteacher read a story or to a guest speakeror by seeing films. As they listen tostories, they are likely to identify withthe children in the stories and so to under-stand their feelings and viewpoints. Thereare many goals of a social studies programand some would be neglected if only oneteaching strategy were followed.

A careful study of the resource units will when ashow that the kinds of telling called for in teacheprocedures is not telling pupils the general- mayizations suggested in the objective. For ex- interesample, in the Hausa unit the teacher must tell childrchildren a good many things about the Hausa. all ofHowever, what she tells them consists of con- encour,crete data about how the Hausa families live in man-and what they are like. She does not tell has CCTthem that they have similar functions to thosethey have found in other families or that the AtHausa people are very like us in certain generaspecified ways.

them limit a generalization which they havearrived at in one of.the first grade units?Or will study of one of the communities inthe third or fourth grades help them limita generalization which they make in gradetwo?

If the answer to either question is "yes,"it may be wise to let pupils hold these gen-eralizations tentatively but to remind themthey should think of them as hypotheses tobe tested in later units. This is probablythe procedure to use if the generalizationrepresents an over-generalization which doesnot take into account some of the moresophisticated limitations which a socialscientist or, even an older child might placeupon it.

In the other hand, suppose the answer toboth questions is "no." Or suppose that thegeneralization is not just too broad but isobviously contradicted by data which.childrenhave already come across or which could bepresented to them in an understandable formwithin the unit being studied. The teachershould then spend more time helping childrentest their generalization at this time. Ratherthan merely telling children that their general-ization is wrong or needs to be limited, theteacher might confront children with data. Forexample, she could read excerpts from books,tell stories, show pictures or films or merelyrelate certain facts. This data should be suchas to lead children to modify their generali-zation or arrive at a better generalizationwithout the teacher telling them what is wrong.

from different societies, including afamily from a non-western culture at eachgrade level. They will be asked to makecomparisons with their own families. Atthe end of each year, they will look backover the families they have studied andwill be asked to generalize about familiesin their own community as well as aroundthe world.

The family is being used as a vehicleto teach a series of important socialscience concepts related to culture, socialorganization, social process, and site.(See pp. 27-30.) The families studied havebeen selected carefully to point up culturaldiversity, to help children recognize theuniqueness of culture; to show that cultureis learned, to teach children about normsand values, and to emphasize culturaluniversals and the psychic unity of mankind.The selection of families with very differ-ent structures and role differentiationswill help to emphasize the variability ofhuman behavior. The study of these familiesshould also teach ideas about structure,role, role differentiation, and function.Despite the diversity, children will noticecultural universals. They will note thatall people have to satisfy certain basicneeds, but that they satisfy them differently.They will learn that all societies havefamilies and some ways of socializingchildren.

The families to be studied have also beenchosen with a view to. teaching pupils differ-ent site concepts. (See pp. 8-11.) Con-sequently, children will study families indifferent types of physical environments,including mesas in a desert area, forestedareas, a high plateau in a mountainous area,

his two-year program

is part of a K-12 curriculum which has beenplanned to provide continuity and sequencein the development of concepts, generaliza-tions, skills and attitudes. Therefore,these concepts are introduced in grades oneand two but are reinforced through othercontent at later grade levels. As childrenadvance in school they will become moresophisticated in their understanding of theconcepts and generalizations and will in-crease the number of their generalizationsabout each concept.

The teacher could substitute differentfamilies for those chosen for this course.As other curriculum projects developmaterials on families around the world,and as films, filmstrips, and children'sbooks become available on other families,a teacher may wish to make substitutions.She should be very careful in doing so, how-ever. At least some of the families chosenshould illustrate rather dramatic differencesin family structure, functions, values, androles. The families chosen should continueto provide opportunities for study of variedtypes of site characteristics. Moreover,if different families are substituted, theteacher should handle the units so as toteach the same concepts and generalizationsas those identified for the present program.

The teacher could have very able secondgraders find out about other families thanthose studied by the class. These childrencould tell the class about differences andsimilarities between the families they haveread about on their own and the onesstudied by the class.

The Hopi lived on plateaus on top ofmesas in the desert region of northeastern.Arizona. The unit can he used to teachchildren about plateaus, mesas, cliffs,canyons, streams, springs, and irrigation.Children also learn about one type ofprimitive farming.

The unit also includes material on theHopi of today. This contrast with the Fopiof the early 20th century permits pupilsto generalize about cultural change andcontinuity.

Unit 2 - The Algonquin Family

This family provides a contrast with thechildren's on families in terms of theindependence of the family unit and the manyfunctions of the family fulfilled on itsown. The Algonquin family unit of mother,father, and children provided almost all oftheir raw materials and processed materialsfor food, clothing, shelter, medicine, etc.It provided almost all training for thechild's future life.

This unit :Douses upon life in southernNew England. Children will study conceptssuch as softwood and hardwood forests, lakes,rivers, swamps, and the seashore.

The peasant community generally consistsof several extended families which are relatedthrough marriage (the ayllu). In contrast toour system, the whole community or ayllu isessentially a family group. An individual hassome sort of kin relationship with reciprocalresponsibilities and norms of etiquette witheveryone else in his community.

The Quechua nuclear family group makes upthe household. It provides an excellentexample of children's roles which differ fromthose in our society. For example, malechildren begin to work in the fields at theage of five or six. Girls can often do mostof the essential household tasks by the timethey are the age of the average first graderin this country. Sexual differentiation ofroles is very marked even by this age in con-trast to our own society where boys a.nd girlsoften do many of the same tasks and playsimilar games.

The Quechua also offer a good exampleof a culture in which a relatively greatamount of outward expression of conflictis permitted in relationships both withinthe family and within the community.They thus offer a useful contrast to theattitudes toward conflict found among theHopi.

The Quechua provide a colorful exampleof a people who live on a very high plateauin the mountains. Children can learn abouta number of site concepts such as mountains,valleys, plateaus, vertical climatic differ-ences, and terracing.

Unit 4 - The Japanese Family

. This family was chosen because of certainmarked contrasts with the other familiesstudied. The traditional Japanese familysystem is characterized by an extendedpatrilineal and patrilocal family. That is,descent is traced in the male line and bridesat marriage go to live with their husbands,who, if they are the family heir, continueto live ideally with their parents. TheJapanese household is a corporation thatideally has perpetual existence. Once estab-lished, a household line should not beallowed to lapse. The household group con-tained in the past and often still containsmore than one nuclear family. Even whenmarried sons live elsewhere, as non-heirsusually do, they often act as members ofthe family group. The household includesdeparted deceased members, as well as livingmembers. All regular household members areenshrined at the family altar and continueto function as family members in several

ways. For example, Japanese children aretaken before the household shrine and asked:"Do you think you can give the ancestors anyexcuse for doing that?"

Outside of such a family group a humanbeing in Japan would be said to be sociallynon-existent. Within the group he is a memberperpetually, even after death. Thus thehousehold group provides an atmosphere ofpsychological security which the family systemof our society does not provide, since oursystem emphasizes the husband-wife relation-ship and the establishment of new nuclearfamilies by its children.

The Japanese family is also a religiousunit, providing the congregation for ritualrecognition of ancestors.

The structuming of relationships amongliving members differs considerably from thoseof our families. For example, the position ofaged members was and is one of authority andprestige. Moreover, new brides are broughtinto a family at the bottom of the rank orderof authority in most situations. Although thefocus of this unit is on the traditional family,the unit attempts tp show change in the fartlilyand its ways of life in the modern day.

Unit 1 The Colonial Family of Boston

This unit provides children with datafrom which they can generalize aboutchanges and cultural continuity in theAmerican family. It illustrates veryclearly, for example, changes in economicfunctions of the family. The colonialfamily provided most of its own food,clothing, shelter, and utensils. The unitalso illustrates great changes in materialpossessions from Colonial times until now.The colonial family illustrates verydifferent norms and attitudes (about tablemanners, behavior on Sundays, unmarriedpeople, etc.). However, children willrecognize a number of ways in which re-lationships between parents and childrenresemble those of today.

This unit permits pupils to study thecon,::epts of harbor, peninsula, and seaportand ways in which man has changed hisphysical environment (for example, by fillingin large areas of water around the originalpeninsula on which Boston was built). Chil-dren can also review site concepts such asrivers and hills.

Unit 2 The Soviet Family in Moscow

This unit provides children with oppor-tunities to study family life in a largecity in which life differs in many ways fromlife in American cities. However, familystructure is much like that in the UnitedStates, although wives are more likely to beworking. The Soviet family is ,ffected inmany ways by the Soviet political andeconomic system.

They areseparated by age groups and receive much oftheir socialization from women who are notmembers of their family. The communityprovides the food, clothes, and other thingswhich faMilies need. However, a study ofthe Kibbutz family shows that some familyfunctions remain. The family has an imoortantaffectional and emotional support function.It retains some of the socialization function.Although the individual family has lost theusual economic function found even in in-dustrialized societies, parents contributeto the community, economy which then providesfor community members. Of course, thefamily also retains the procreation function.This unit, like that of the Hausa, can beused to teach children a number of economicconcepts (division of labor, interdependence,etc.). Children will learn that in one sensethe entire Kibbutz community is like an ex-tended family. Since children study thecommunity to study the family, this unit pro-vides a useful transition to the course on"Communities Around the World" in grade three.

Children will have studied their own shineighborhood, learned something about directions litand distances, made simple maps and learned to ecouse simple globes and maps. They will have foundout that communities and countries are dependentupon each other for many goods and resources. tutThey will also have been introduced to the idea insof change in the environment which results both earfrom natural forces and from man's activities.

However, theywill discover that in some societies thegovernment plays a much greater role andthat traditional reciprocal relationshipsamong people are more important for ex-change than our type of market relation-ship. They will see how the total way oflife, including cultural values, affectseconomic systems.

In each of these grade levels, insti-tutions are added to a study of otherinstitutions which pupils have examinedearlier. That is, as children look at theManus or Paris community in grade three,they will also notice some things aboutthe family life in these communities. Aschildren look at economic life in thevillage of India in grade four, they willfind out much about the family life and thesocial and political life in an Indianvillage. In this fashion, children studymore institutions in each grade level untilthey are able to look at total cultureswithout too much confusion.

In grade five, children study in muchmore detail how different cultures or thesame people over time use the same physicalenvironment. The focus is upon the geo-graphy of the United States, Canada, andLatin America.

THE FORMAT OF RESOURCE UNITS

The main body of each resource unit isset up in a doublepage format to helpteachers to see the relationships amongobjectives, content, teaching procedures,

Page 30: Familes Around the World. Two Year Sequence inthe two-year sequence. Charts appended to this guide indicate more specifically the way in which the specific goals are developed in a

and materials of instruction. The first columnof objectives on the left-hand page answers thequestions: Why should we use this procedure orteach this content? What should be the focus ofthe procedure? The second column on the left-hand page presents an outline of content whichanswers the question: What topics should weteach? The first column on the second page in-cludes teaching procedures. :rt answers thequestion: How can we teach these objectivesand this content? The last column on materialsof instruction answers the question:: With whatmaterials can we teach the objective and contentand handle the procedure?

In the objectives column generalizations arepreceded by a G and are in plain type. Skillsare preceded by an S and are underlined.Attitudes are preceded by an A and are in capitalletters. If no objective is found in the left-hand column for a particular procedure, theteacher should look at the last objective(s)listed in the column for a single procedure. Anobjective is not repeated until a d:Lfferent ob-jective intervenes. Most of the generalizationsto be developed are presented in the terms ofthe social scientist. No attempt should bemade to have children learn the statements aspresented here. Rather, they should be asked togeneralize in their own words.

It should be noted that any one teachingprocedure may help develop several generalizations,one or more skills, and one or more attitudes.Indeed, the most useful procedures are frequentlythose which help achieve several types ofobjectives .

By knowing what generalization (s) are listedfor a particular procedure, the teacher candirect his handling of the procedure to appro-priate ends. However, he should not feel that

Theprocedure should help lead to the develop-ment of the generalization but is almostnever the only procedure aimed at accom-plishing this end. For example, withinthe Hopi unit, activities #19 and 26-2R areall designed to help teach the generali-zations that all people have certain basicdrives, although they satisfy them differ-ently. Moreover, each of the other unitsin grades one and two have activities todevelop this generalization further. Inthe Hopi family unit, children can onlygeneralize that the Hopi have the same basicdrives as we have and that they satisfy themdifferently than we do. They can hypothe-size that the same thing might hold true ofother peoples of the world. They can general-ize more completely after they have com-pleted the second grade course. The charton pages 17-27 indicates which units haveactivities to teach each generalization.

The materials column does not includecomplete bibliographic data. This data canbe found in the bibliography at the end ofthe unit. The bibliography includes manyother books which will also prove helpfulin teaching the unit.

ADAPTING RESOURCE UNITS TO SPECIFIC CLASSES

The units provided by the Center areresource units. Naturally, teachers areexpected and encouraged to add their ownideas for materials and teaching procedures.These units are intended to suggest possi-bilities, not to 17:resent a cut-and-driedcourse.

Since these units are resource units,

teachers are not expected to use all of the upon:suggested procedures. Indeed, they could not of schdo so in any one class. Rather, he should museumselect and add procedures which are most beforesuitable for each class. They should consider economa number of factors as they make this selec- (b) eation: whethc

Suppose the teacher discovers thr chil-drtm need much more help on certain map-reading skills. She may wish to addsome objectives which are not includedin the resource unit. On the otherhand, suppose she discovers that chil-dren have developed considerable abilityto use a specific map-reading skill.She may then wish to omit this skill asan objective or at least merely reviewits use rather than using all of theactivities designed to teach it.

THE PREPARATION OF THESE MATERIALS

The Curriculum Center at the University ofMinnesota had as its major goal the develop-ment and try-out of a new curricular frameworkfor grades K-12. The basic assumptions of thestaff and the criteria for selecting topicsare discussed in the Center's BackgroundPaper n. A tentative curricular frameworkwas used in developing a series of resource

is and sample pupil materials at variousels where they were needed. No attempt wasie to develop a complete set of material,;

for children. Rather, the aim was to try outthe curriculum, using as many materials avail-able from other sources as possible, andsupplementing these materials with a fewdeveloped by the Center only where they wereneeded in order to teach the units.

The resource units and stories for childrenwere developed by a number of people. ShirleyHolt, Jennette Jones, and Genevieve Berkhoferwrote the background papers for those preparingthe units. These papers are attached to eachunit to help teachers build their own back-ground. Teachers arm not expected to andshould not try to teach all of the ideascontained in them.

Following a period of field testing in theChelmsford Public Schools, the units wererevised by teams of Chelmsford teachers duringthe summer of 1968. Mary Priest and MaureenSanders revised the first grade units whileClaire McCrady, Patricia Simonson, MargaretKane, and Jane Markiewicz revised the secondgrade units.
