7th GradeSocial Studies

Mrs. Harper – Room 202

What is the class about? American History from

-the Causes of the Civil War (1830’s)

- to the Causes of World War II (1930’s)

SOCIAL STUDIES – 5 elements

My educational philosophy is:

That learning happens when: • the student finds a personal

connection to the content• they are curious about the

content• they believe they can achieve

the expectations.

The Curriculum

We use the textbook, readers, primary and secondary sources and

videos

You can find the readers and the on-line textbook on my teacher page

 

Besides class work:• Homework every Monday night • Occasional In-Classroom Projects• Independent Projects

• Civil War projects • Book report• Community Service

How to find what you need…

The way we roll in this class…We dig in deep

We question things and we develop our own opinions

We debate and discuss

We try it hands on
