6th Grade World Cultures is a contemporary social studies course that focuses on four main areas.  The year begins with an overall understanding of geography, the world, and tools geographers use to analyze landforms, people, countries and the environment.  Next, students study personal and others culture and innovators who have contributed to society.  In the second semester, students study forms of government and different types of economy and how those impact past and current events.  Students take both exams (camps common assessments CCAs) and participate in projects each 9-weeks period.

It is important for students to be involved with current events and the world they live in.  In class, students are encouraged to share family cultures, knowledge of the world around them, travels, and current events.  Exploring the world and all of its components is a critical skill and will better prepare the students for additional social studies courses.
