Middle School  Social Studies

Class Description

Middle School Social Studies will focus on geography, economics, and American history in the coming year. The history portion will pick up in the late 1800s, as a continuation of last year's study of American history.

Unit studies will run for 5-6 weeks, with each week allowing for a look at different aspects of the historical period, including daily life, government, geography, philosophy/beliefs, economics and technology. The planned unit studies are as follows:

1. Reconstruction after the Civil War

2. Gilded Age/WWI

3. The Roaring Twenties

4. The Great Depression

5. WWII

6. The Civil Rights Movement

Class time will be split between lectures, guest speakers, hands-on activities, read-alouds, and assessments.

In addition, we will study economics through the implementation of a "classroom economy," which will become the testing ground for economic principles such as supply and demand, trade, taxes, and more.
