This guide illustrates a way to organize the 12th grade social studies course according to the "1981 California History/Social Science Framework." The guide is introduced with a listing of the model curriculum standards for teaching United States government, civics, and economics. Also provided are the basic concepts from the History/Social Science Framework which are integrated into each of the six units. The goals which comprise the content of each unit are structured in such a way as to indicate topics of study and suggest possible objectives. Unit 1 presents goals and concept for socialization of the individual in comparative societies. Unit 2 is a study of United States and California government. Units 3, 4, and 5 are comparative in scope, focusing on the individual in political, legal, economic, and social systems of selected countries. Unit 6 focuses on the current interdependence of countries. (SM)
