Advanced Social Studies 7

Year-long; 7th Grade

See Criteria for Advanced Placement for Details

This course is an advanced level of the 7th Grade World Studies course in which students continue the historical sequence with the study of the ancient world. This class follows Ohio’s Learning Standards for 7th grade Social Studies.  Students learn that geographic setting, the culture of the people, economic conditions, governmental decisions and citizen action shape each historic event.  Students will be expected to work at higher levels of abstraction and complexity and think in greater depth about the issues of humanities/social studies as they work to master the curriculum content.  An emphasis is made to place events into context, understanding how and why things have happened, and the implications for the present and the future.  Reading and writing are an integral part of this course.
