Welcome
The 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 aquaint 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 to help students begin to grasp the importance that geography plays in their everyday lives. The government/civics domain focuses on selected types of governments found in the various areas in order to help students begin to understand the variety of governments in the world. The economics domain builds on K-5 economics; however, the focus shifts from the United States to how other countries answer the basic questions of economics. The history domain focuses primarily on significant events in each region from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
