World History 7 2018-2019

This year we will be studying the ancient world and geography with a focus on historical thinking. Students will learn about…

o Early humans as hunter-gatherers

o The migration and settlement of

people

o The emergence of pastoral and

agrarian societies

o The rise and fall of powerful empires

o world religions

o Trade and the diffusion of ideas and

cultures.

• 7th Grade social studies is very project-oriented.

• Homework, including reading, worksheets, or

mini-projects, will be given on a regular basis.

• Larger assignments will be interspersed throughout the

year and given a longer period of time for completion.

• Traditional Tests/quizzes will cover articles, book

work, class notes and movie notes. We will review together, but it will be necessary to study at home. You will need to plan accordingly.

• Always check the agenda each day and copy into your

planner immediately. At home, check the Class Calendar on my website to help you stay on track.

• We use a wide variety of supplementary resource

materials. With our focus on the entire world, students will use these materials and will not receive their own copy of a textbook.
