Chapter 6 United States and World History

For chapter 6, I really liked the idea of expanding horizons curriculum. It shows a large emphasis on the social studies curriculum throughout the stages of school. This curriculum allows emphasis to be placed on the topics above, such as families, community, and world cultures. It would seem that the students would not be overloaded with too much information at each stage of their development allowing them to focus and understand the information. The context of the information gradually increases in difficulty as well to challenge the students. This curriculum also allows individuals to see the similarities and differences between the concepts and real life. Which would allow a deeper understanding and connections.
