A Curriculum Resource Guide

For Third Grade

South Carolina

This guide is designed to aid teachers in the implementation of South Carolina Social Studies

Standards in the third grade. In addition to the state standards, an effort was made to include

items with male and female subjects, various cultural perspectives, and varied genres. While

some items are intended for the targeted grades of 3-5, others are chosen for differentiation

purposes and may need teacher assistance while meeting the needs and zone of proximal

development for each student. The contents include fiction/nonfiction picture books, an

encyclopedia article, a chapter book read-aloud, chapter length biography, poetry, magazine

article, instructional videos, and websites.

VII. PoemsOn Being Brought fr om Af ri ca to Ameri ca

By Phillis Wheatley

'Twas mercy brought me from myPagan land,

Taught my benighted soul to understand

That there's a God, that there's a Saviourtoo:

Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.

Some view our sable race with scornful eye,

"Their colour is a diabolic die."

Remember, Christians, Negros, black as Cain,

May be refin'd, and join th' angelic train.

On L iberty and Slavery

By George Moses Horton

Alas! and am I born for this,

To wear this slavish chain?

Deprived of all created bliss,


11/15

Through hardship, toil and pain!

How long have I in bondage lain,And languished to be free!

Alas! and must I still complain

Deprived of liberty.

Oh, Heaven! and is there no relief

This side the silent grave

To soothe the painto quell the griefAnd anguish of a slave?

Come Liberty, thou cheerful sound,

Roll through my ravished ears!Come, let my grief in joys be drowned,

And drive away my fears.

Say unto foul oppression, Cease:

Ye tyrants rage no more,

And let the joyful trump of peace,

Now bid the vassal soar.

Soar on the pinions of that dove

Which long has cooed for thee,And breathed her notes from Africs grove,

The sound of Liberty.

Oh, Liberty! thou golden prize,So often sought by blood

We crave thy sacred sun to rise,

The gift of natures God!

Bid Slavery hide her haggard face,

And barbarism fly:I scorn to see the sad disgrace

In which enslaved I lie.

Dear Liberty! upon thy breast,I languish to respire;

And like the Swan unto her nest,

Id like to thy smiles retire.

Oh, blest asylumheavenly balm!

Unto thy boughs I flee

And in thy shades the storm shall calm,With songs of Liberty!
