Sixth Grade Social Studies expands the role of citizenship and patriotism. Students learn about the roles and functions governments play in world events and organizations that help resolve conflicts. Students will use both current and historical maps to explain the effects of major events on political boundaries around the world. Students will learn how the economy is affected by trade and trade organizations, technology, and renewable and nonrenewable resources as well as world conflicts. The causes and responses to world conflicts from World War I to present day will be evaluated. (West Virginia Social Studies Standards Grade 6)
