Social Studies

This year students will journey through time to understand the emergence, expansion, and decline of civilizations and societies from the beginning of time to the Age of Exploration. We will examine the past to determine how and why societies have changed over-time. We will evaluate political, economic, and social systems and compare them to systems of today. Students will be engaged and challenged through learning centers, simulations, document-based inquiry essays, research tasks, technology based products and customized presentations. Our quest is for all students to master critical thinking skills as they strive to think higher and harder. We will travel the globe making connections and discovering new cultures. It is going to be an incredible trip!
