1.5  Students describe the human characteristics of familiar places and the varied backgrounds of American citizens and residents in those places.

1.  Recognize the ways in which they are all part of the same community, sharing principles, goals, and traditions despite their ancestry; the forms of diversity in their school and community; and the benefits and challenges of a diverse population.
2.  Understand the ways in which American Indians and immigrants have helped define Californian and American culture.
3.  Compare the beliefs, customs, ceremonies, traditions, and social practices of the varied cultures, drawing from folklore.
