Social Studies 7 - Medieval Times

• MS 2011 Social Studies 7 - Medieval Times: History, Geography & World Belief Systems of the Eastern Hemisphere

This course is designed as an interdisciplinary study of medieval times. Students use the disciplines of geography, culture, history, government, and economics to study regions of Western Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia during medieval times. Students will also complete a joint research project with their Language Arts 7 course about the Renaissance.

In addition, students will compare and contrast the various world belief systems which originated in the Middle East and Eastern Hemisphere. Geography, current events, and critical thinking opportunities enable students to evaluate historical and world issues. Primary sources, maps, video, and other graphic materials will be integrated regularly in this course.
