Welcome to 7th Grade Social Studies. In the 7th Grade, we will explore the physical and human geography of our planet, with an added emphasis on ancient empires and also on a variety of important contemporary topics.
Essential Questions
What are the consequences of telling the counter-narrative?
How do we cultivate courage as individuals and how does that ultimately affect our record of history?
How does witnessing history develop our understanding of the world?
Is it our obligation as a society or citizens of the world to record history or should we rely on others to do so?
To begin our investigation into our world, we will begin with a basic overview of important concepts and vocabulary, examine and study historical narratives, and finally create our own narratives that reflect our journey throughout the quarter.
