In seventh grade the students start their study of United States history.
During the first half of the year we trace American history from the late colonial period through the American Revolution.
During the second half of the year, we study Civics. Students will learn how the government works as well as the foundational principles. By the end of the year, they will know how citizens can influence public institutions.

I use a points-based system for grading. Larger assignments are worth more points, and therefore have more weight. Students will receive rubrics for projects and assessments.
