Objectives
The Virginia Department of Education set guidelines known as the Virginia Standards of Learning, which are implemented as common objectives for learning across the state of Virginia. The social studies curriculum is a blueprint used to assemble virtuous citizenry, a quality of citizenship that models a decorum that encourages mindful and productive engagement in the democratic process. Students will demonstrate knowledge of American Constitutional government, citizenship, rights, duties, and responsibilities; character traits that facilitate deliberate civic participation. Students will analyze the role of the media. Lastly, students will examine the role, structure, and operation of the United States economy. These objectives will be met by using The Hunger Games as a central text to reflect and answer essential content questions.
