Alabama Social Studies SS24.HOS.3

SS24.HOS.3 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• SS24.HOS.3a

  Locate on a map pre-war centers of Jewish life, including shtetls, in Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.*

01

What Students Need to Do

Students locate centers of Jewish life, including shtetls, on a map of Europe around 1900. They compare languages, jobs, and community life across regions.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can locate Warsaw, Berlin, Salonika, and the shtetl of Tykocin on a period map. They can use place cards to explain how life in two of those places differed.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think all European Jews lived in shtetls. They may assume Jewish communities everywhere spoke the same language or had the same jobs. They may use today's borders to place towns on a 1900 map.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a 1900 Europe map and place cards for Tykocin and Salonika. Ask them to locate both places and write one difference in language and one in work or community life.

1. 01

   Give pairs a 1900 map and place cards for Tykocin, Warsaw, Berlin, and Salonika; have them pin each place and add one detail.

2. 02

   Read short profiles of Tykocin and Salonika, then ask: How did language and work differ? Cite a detail from each profile.

3. 03

   Play a map relay: name a place, have teams mark it, then match it to a card describing local Jewish life.

4. 04

   Compare a 1900 map with a current map; have students find Salonika and Warsaw and note any changes in borders or names.

• SS24.HOS.9a
