Response Question:Focus on the following points when grading: Studying social studies allows us to question whether our past is likely to “repeat” and gives usclues on how to create a better future. When we use the disciplines such as geography, economics, and psychology we are able toanswer questions such as “Why do people live a certain way? And how does this affect theirfuture?” These questions give us guidance on understanding our differences and learning to beempathetic. We can look at our past through a lens of a well rounded-citizen. We know how to ask the right questions and we look at the past from all different aspects! Provide explanations to your responses! This is key! Any argument can be made with the rightevidence!20
