6th Grade Social Studies students have immersed themselves in learning about the effects of propaganda during World War II. Students completed a propaganda analysis where they discussed that during World War II propaganda was used to show a variety of different messages including enlisting in the military and rationing food for troops. Classes are analyzing  how the Treaty of Versailles eventually led to World War II and the Nazis rise to power in Germany! Advanced Social Studies students are working on a DBQ (Document Based Inquiry) which looks at Totalitarianism in Germany and how the country was affected. They are doing a great job looking through sources and analyzing the many different effects it had on citizens of Germany. 

8th Grade Georgia Studies students enjoyed a presentation by the Sons of the American Revolution-Robert Forsyth Chapter. Students were able to hear second-hand accounts of what life was like in Georgia during the American Revolution by actual descendents of American Patriots. Students are wrapping up the first semester with learning about how land was acquired during Georgia’s early statehood and Georgia’s role in the American Civil War.
