Social Studies Skills

Page 2: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

#1Making Inferences

& Drawing Conclusions

Objectives:1. Identify strategies used to make inferences

2. Analyze different clues that help people understand passages and images

3. Investigate how to form a conclusion based on the clues gathered

Page 3: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Inference= educated guess

Context clues – use the clues given in the sentence or passage to find the meaning

Contrasts – use antonyms (opposites) to find the meaning of the unknown word

#1- Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions

Page 4: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Implied= suggested or hinted at

Context= words or sentences around a particular word or phrase that help someone understand its meaning

Antonym= A word that has the opposite meaning of another word

Contrasting= Comparing in a way that makes the differences clear

#1- Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions

#2 Analyzing Data to Understand

ChangeObjectives:

1. Identify key questions to ask when analyzing data2. Analyze how historians use numerical data to

understand changes in society3. Draw conclusions about societal changes based on

data analysis

Page 6: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Pattern= A sequence found in comparable

events

Causal Relationship= A relationship in which the first event causes the second event to happen

Assets= Property owned by a person or group

Trend= The general course or direction that something is taking

#2 – Analyzing Data to Understand Changes

Page 7: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Historians study how society

changes over time To identify trends and patterns To plan for the future To prevent crises & reduce the

impact of harmful events To make inferences about causal

relationships (one event leads to another)

#2 Analyzing Data to Understand Changes

Page 8: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

What do historians study?

Population data Fertility rate = average number of children born

to a woman during her childbearing years **needs to be 2.1 for population to stay the same

Mortality rate = the number of deaths relative to the total population

Data about societal structures Economic data (wealth distribution) Education data (literacy rate)

#2 Analyzing Data to Understand Changes

Page 9: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

#3 Common Issues Across Places &

Times

Objectives:1. Identify common issues that affect societies across

different locations and times2. Explore how societies choose different approaches to

solving common issues

Page 10: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Common Issues = events that happen

over and over again in the same country (history repeats itself) Environmental Issues: pollution,

tsunamis, earthquakes Economic Issues: poverty, unemployment Social Issues: discrimination, education,

disease, flu epidemics Political Issues: taxes, terrorism, elections

#3 Common Issues Across Places & Times

Page 11: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

First, brainstorm different things we

think might affect the issue Next, do some research to gather

facts BEFORE we draw a conclusion Compare & contrast

#3 Common Issues Across Places & Times

Page 12: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Death Toll= The number of deaths resulting from a

particular event

Richter Scale= The scale most commonly used for measuring the strength of an earthquake

Outbreak= The sudden occurrence and rapid spread of a disease

Contaminated= Unclean; polluted, dirty, or diseased

Rehydration= The restoration of bodily fluids that have been lost due to dehydration

#3 Common Issues Across Places & Times

Page 13: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

#4 Connecting the Past to Present

IssuesObjectives:

1. Identify contemporary problems and issues2. Explore decisions and events that have contributed to

current issues3. Create policies for dealing with a present issue

Page 14: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Connecting the Past to

Present Issues= establish how something that is happening today is an effect of some events that happened in the past

#4 Connecting the Past to Present Issues

Page 15: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

First, identify common problems in

the past and present Next, research those problems to

try to identify cause/effect as well as similarities/differences

Finally, make connections and draw conclusions about the world around us

#4 Connecting the Past to Present Issues

Page 16: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Social dilemmas:

Overpopulation= the number of people living in an area is too much for the environment to sustain them all

Racism= people of one skin color or ethnicity are discriminated against

Gender inequality= men and women are not treated equally in society and women do not have the same economic or educational opportunities as men

#4 Connecting the Past to Present Issues

Page 17: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Political Conflicts:

Revolution= overthrow leaders War= Civil War in Sudan, Iraq-

Iran War, WWI, WWII Terrorism= hijacking aircraft,

Sept. 11 attacks, London train bombings

Page 18: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Economic Downturn:

Recession= temporary period of economic decline

Poverty= being extremely poor

Policy= An on-going plan of action

Development: education & literacy, clean water & sanitation

#4 Connecting the Past to Present Issues

Page 19: #1 Making Inferences & Drawing Conclusions Objectives: 1.Identify strategies used to make inferences 2.Analyze different clues that help people understand.

Environmental Concerns:

Natural disasters= earthquakes, tsunamis, tremors (minor earthquakes)

Air pollution Climate change
