How is each unit set up?

Parts of a Unit

Every student receives a 7th Grade World History Workbook and will use that to prepare for the unit assessments. Since the classroom grade is based on the unit assessments, these are very important for success.

All 10 content units this year are set up using the following materials:

• A three-week time table for completion.

• A cover page with an introduction and summary of topics for the unit.

• Two vocabulary pages with 8 terms for the unit.

• A unit map with explanations of key locations.

• Four notes pages that includes information the student will copy and space to write independent student notes.

• A writing prompt that clearly states what the unit constructed response question will be for the unit.

• A rubric that explains how the unit assessment paragraph will be graded.

• A page of questions with a graphic organizer to help the student write sentences for their practice unit paragraph.

• A full page to write the practice paragraph out using the answered questions on the previous page.

• A review page with the main ideas for the unit and a place to take brief notes on the missed Kahoot! or unit test questions.

• A two-part test that assesses student content knowledge (Part A) and the student's ability to write an informational paragraph on the topic for that unit (Part B).

Students will also have access to all documents and presentations we use through the unit pages on this website. The bottom of each page has a folder with these files that students can view or copy for themselves:
