COMMUNITY
STRAND 2: YOUR COMMUNITY
Students analyze the communities in which they live, including geography, relative
size, and interdependent relationships.
Compelling Questions:
-What are some of the different communities to which you belong?
-What is your culture?
-What do communities need to thrive?
-What are some unique aspects of your community?
-How has your community changed or remained the same with the passage of time and why?
Standard 3.2.1: Locate their community, city or town, state, country, and continent on print and digital maps of the earth, and contrast their sizes and the relationships in scale.
Standard 3.2.2: Describe how geography (that is, physical features and natural resources) has shaped where and how their community developed, how it sustains itself, and how it will sustain itself in the
future.
Standard 3.2.3: Define their own cultures or the cultures of their communities (for example, art, music, food, dance, system of writing, architecture, government to which they are regularly exposed or of which they are part).
Standard 3.2.4: Evaluate how their community has changed over time (for example, economic interdependence, changes to the environment).
