In Seventh Grade Social Studies we step back in time and take a good look
at 100 years of U.S. history. Throughout the year we will combine history and
geography with a look at civics and economics as well. We’ll begin our
studies in the early 1800's and see how events and happenings led to the Civil
War, the conflict that nearly left the US broken in half.
With the Yankees victorious we’ll investigate how they put the pieces back
together again. The US became an industrial giant with the help of immigrants
and technology during the late 1800's. This growth was matched by the many
states that became a part of our country at that time. The journey through
time continues with WW I, The Roaring 20's, The Great Depression and finally
the events that led up to WW II.
Once again this year a 7th Grade goal is to increase reading comprehension.
Students will choose a historical fiction novel and a biography and complete
review packets and presentations on each. In addition there will be a 1st
Semester Geography project called "Happy Holiday Adventure" which I will
introduce in November.
