“A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read.” – Mark Twain
School Mission Statement:
“The mission of Northside Middle School is to ensure that all learners achieve personal success through an atmosphere of respect, responsibility, readiness, and accountability.”
Course Description:
Students in six grade will grow their knowledge in their understanding of history by studying the people and events that ushered in the dawn of the major Western and Non-Western ancient civilizations. Geography is of extreme significance to the human development story. Continued emphasis is placed on the everyday lives, problems, and accomplishments of people, their role in developing social, economic, and political structures, as well as in establishing and spreading ideas that helped transform the world forever. Students develop higher levels of critical thinking by considering why civilizations developed where and when they did, why they became dominant, and why they declined. Students analyze the interactions among the various cultures,
emphasizing their enduring contributions and the link, despite time, between the contemporary and ancient worlds.
