Appendix – Implemented District Standards
The North Carolina Essential Standards I will be addressing include:
8H1.3-use of primary sources. The whole unit focuses on primary sources: Paintings, furniture, house ware items, drawings, and other items.
8H2 - understanding the ways in which conflict, compromise, and negotiation have shaped the US/NC. The pre-Revolutionary era offer many opportunities of colonial negotiation, compromise, and conflict with taxes, boycotts, repeals, Mecklenburg Resolves and Halifax Resolves locally and The Declaration of Independence and Olive Branch Petition nationally.
8H3 - understanding the factors that contribute to change and continuity in the US/NC; analyzing the democratic ideals which shaped the government of the US/NC. Discussing mercantile economic theory, no taxation without representation, and how The Declaration of Independence was articulated.
8C & G2.3 - explain the impact of human and civil rights issues experienced by people throughout the US/NC. I will be examining the concepts of indentured servitude and slavery in pre-Revolutionary times.
8C1 -analyze how different cultures influenced US/NC. The unit is focusing on a variety of groups arriving to the colonies and their reasons for leaving Europe. It also focuses on slavery and the opportunities for possible freedom during the Revolution.
