Welcome to 7th Grade Social Studies!

What is Social Studies?

Social Studies is the study of people. How people relate to one another and their world; it is our societies, cultures, histories, governments, and interconnectedness. This year we'll be focusing on World History from the Renaissance, and hopefully making it to present day. We will cover a wide-range of topics to get a fuller picture of the world we live in and help to understand current events throughout the world. 

There are six main components of social studies, and we will use each of them to develop a more complete understanding of our world.

History

Geography

Economics

Civics and Government

Behavioral Sciences
