7th Grade History

In 7th Grade History we focus on historical thinking and inquiry to develop critical thinking skills. The two topics that are explored are Medieval Europe and Washington State History. For the first semester of this class, we are using History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond. We have a class set of textbooks, and the students will have online access to the book at www.TeachTCI.com. This texts covers Europe from the fall of the Roman Empire through the Dark Ages and ends with the Enlightenment. A full table of contents can be found at TeachTCI’s website. The second semester we use the historical thinking and inquiry skills to develop an in-depth understanding of our state of Washington. We also use Student News daily in order to enhance student understanding and connect past event to the present. At the end of the Year students will complete Project Citizen.
