Eighth Grade West Virginia Studies engages students in the comprehensive study of West Virginia, from the Pre-Columbian period to the present day. Special emphasis is placed on the interdependence of geographic, cultural, political, environmental and economic factors affecting the development and future of the state. Students develop empathy for citizens worldwide as they demonstrate connections and loyalty to homeland. Students are actively engaged citizens of their school and community and develop national and global civic perspective and responsibility. Students become economically literate to understand West Virginia’s global connectivity in the marketplace both as a producer and a consumer of international goods and services. Students synthesize their information to predict the future development and evolution of their state. (West Virginia Social Studies Standards Grade 8)
