All Hands on Deck: Learning Adventures Aboard "Old Ironsides" and the Maryland State Content Standards for Social Studies

Students will demonstrate an understanding of historical and current events using chronological and spatial thinking, develop historical interpretations, and frame questions that include collecting and evaluating information from primary and secondary sources.

Rationale:
Social Studies curriculum should reflect the integration of content and skills. Students should apply these thinking processes and skills while studying the content of United States history, world history, geography, political systems, and economics.
