Designed for California fourth grade teachers, Remembering the California Missions: A Curriculum Guide is a secondary supplement to the fourth grade social studies text that supports the Common Core Standards. This curriculum guide includes vocabulary and comprehension lessons, pre-post activities, review guides, and a number of additional activities which have been added to help diversify the learning process. This curriculum guide, which partners with the illustrated historical literature book Remembering the California Missions, by Pat Hunter and Janice Stevens, helps deepen students' understanding and appreciation of the California missions and their history, while building skills in Common Core Standards including reading standards, writing standards, language standards, and social studies standards. Each chapter in Remembering the California Missions: A Curriculum Guide covers one of California's 22 missions, presenting essential facts for students to know, vocabulary to master, and reading comprehension questions to gauge student progress. Additional resources offer instructional strategies for using mission-related material to boost students' vocabulary and understanding of the meanings of new words, plus a wide variety of class activities using mission-related material for reading and writing assignments. All the material in the curriculum guide can be easily adjusted to meet students' different skill levels.
