Social Studies

This is our adopted textbook, but we've had it for many years. There is a website, however, there is not a lot of functionality beyond being able to read the text. Work cannot be submitted via this site.

Ancient cultures that we will study this year include Early Man, Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, Greece, and Rome. So exciting!!!

DBQ stands for "Document Based Question". This program provides the basis for much of our writing within the social studies curriculum. Students will analyze several related articles, documents, graphics, etc., in order to answer the guiding question or take a position on a given topic. The resulting essay (or project) requires a deep understanding of the topic, citation of source evidence, and argument/persuasive writing skills. All documents and source materials are available online and will be examined/analyzed as a whole class activity.
