    The Text Says


    Notes (key concepts, direct quotes, etc.)
    The government of the U.S protects the
    freedoms of its people and provides
    opportunities for its citizens to participate
    in the political process (ODE).

    I Say
    My notes, commentary

    This quote is an excellent example as to why


    we study social studies. It is imperative that we,
    as U.S citizens, are aware of the freedoms and
    powers we have in our own government. Once
    we know what powers and freedoms we have,
    we can use this knowledge to better our lives
    and make informed decisions. For example,
    after taking a government class, one is aware
    of their right to vote and informed of the impact
    of their decision. Therefore, they will take their
    vote into deep consideration and make an
    informed decision to create a better society.
    Social studies programs help students
    Once students are exposed to the realities of
    construct a knowledge base and attitudes
    our government, economic system, history, and
    drawn from academic disciplines as
    geography, they are able to look at the world
    specialized ways of viewing reality (NCFS). and their country in a new light. For example, if
    a student sees an ad on TV opposing a certain
    candidate for office, they are aware of the
    issues brought up in the ad, the fact that it was

    Social studies is the integrated study of


    the social sciences and humanities to
    promote civic competence (NCFS).

    most likely created by a PAC or interest group,


    and the fact that the information in the ad is
    most likely biased and out of context. Now that
    the student is aware of all of this information,
    they are more informed and not easily
    manipulated by the media.
    I firmly believe in this statement. It captures
    the real meaning behind the subject. Social
    studies is taught in order to create politically
    active and aware adults to pursue a better
    future for our country. By promoting the idea
    that students can make a change in
    government policies, social studies creates a
    generation that will make positive changes for
    our countrys future.

    Connections to previous MR:


    These readings have a significant connection to our last reading, Why Kids Hate Social Studies. The
    connection between these readings is that they all show case the importance of the connection of
    social studies to our current lives. By doing this, it makes the subject more interesting and more
    valuable to students. It creates more politically aware citizens and creates more of an appreciation for
    social studies in general. I can also connect this to my life because I definitely felt more informed after
    taking multiple college and high school level social studies classes that make the connection between
    the content and my life.
