Oklahoma Social Studies 6.P.1.1

6.P.1.1 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• 6.P.1.1.A

  Analyze why the acknowledgement of different perspectives can contribute to civil discourse and solutions to civic issues.

• 6.P.1.1.B

  Apply a range of deliberative and democratic procedures to discuss, make decisions, and propose action about real-world problems in and out of school.

• 6.P.1.1.C

  Use information to analyze how a specific problem can manifest itself in regional and global issues, describing options for solutions.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students listen to different views about a public problem and use facts to weigh possible solutions. They take turns, discuss options, and use a fair process to decide on an action. They explain how a local problem can affect a region and the wider world.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can use a map and evidence to explain how litter near a creek might affect rivers and the ocean. They can explain why a custodian and a student might favor different cleanup plans, then help the group choose a practical action.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think listening to another view means agreeing with it. They may assume a majority vote makes other concerns irrelevant. Some assume every piece of litter near a creek reaches the ocean.

04

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: A school finds 40 plastic wrappers near a creek each week. Name two views to hear, one regional and one global risk, and a fair way to choose an action.

1. 01

   Give pairs an Oklahoma river map and paper litter tokens; have them trace where litter could enter waterways and travel toward the Gulf.

2. 02

   Ask: Why might a custodian and a student disagree about adding trash bins, and what question would help them find common ground?

3. 03

   Hold a mock council meeting with student, custodian, and neighbor role cards; give each speaker one minute, then vote on a cleanup plan.

4. 04

   Count litter on school grounds, then write a two-sentence request to the principal for bins or a cleanup.
