Grade 4 Social Studies

Grade 4 Social Studies: Term 1 Unit 2


Description
In this Unit students will begin to examine the various ethnic groups in the English Speaking Caribbean and the diversity they created in our customs and
traditions, which help to make the Caribbean a “melting pot” of cultures.

The ethnic groups to be examined are the Spanish, the British, the Africans, the East Indians and the Chinese. They will state the country of origin of each ethnic group and begin to appreciate that those shared historical experiences have helped to make the Caribbean unique. Students will also begin to appreciate the importance of preserving their cultural heritage. This is an introductory unit. Students will examine these ethnic groups in greater detail at other levels of the school system. Students will be required to gather information from no more than three (3) sources. Sources may include but are not limited to pictures, textbooks, videos, and internet sites.
