    Overview of 7th Grade Social Studies

    Course Description

    Seventh grade is the second year of a two-year World Area Studies course. Seventh grade students study Africa and Asia. The goal of this two-year course is to acquaint middle school students with the world in which they live. The geography domain includes both physical and human geography. The intent of the geography domain is for students to begin to grasp the importance geography plays in their everyday lives.

     

    This year we will study the regions of Africa, the Middle East (Southwest Asia) and Southern and Eastern Asia.  Students will use a variety of materials, methods, strategies, and resources to learn how history, geographical features, resources, religion, culture, and government effect the development of regions and their relationships with the United States.  We will begin the year with a brief review of geographical skills, followed by our unit on Africa.  Around the month of December, we will begin studying SWA/ Middle East and start our unit on Southern and Eastern Asia in/around February.  For additional information and resources, please visit: https://www.georgiastandards.org/Georgia-Standards/Pages/Social-Studies-Grade-7.aspx
