Strand 4: Connecting Your Community to the World

Students learn about one or more communities in other regions of the world. Students use what they have learned in the first three Strands about their own community as a basis for comparison. These communities could reflect the diverse heritage of class members and community members.

Compelling Questions:

• How is your community both alike and different from other communities in other parts of the world?
• Where are these other communities located and how do their locations affect people’s lives?
• Why do other communities have different cultures and systems of government?

Standard 3.4.5

Examine how and why the community they chose in 3.4.1 has adapted to and/or modified its environment over time, and identify the consequences of these environmental changes.
