This 21 slide social studies PowerPoint is designed to use as a teaching tool to help guide your instruction as you teach about personal beliefs and ideals. This lesson challenges students to think about their own beliefs of what is important and introduces them to other beliefs they may not be familiar with. Students will learn that what a culture value as important (ideal) affects their social, economic, and political decisions. This lesson meets the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for 3rd grade social studies.
