Unit Theme: The Thinking Like a Historian unit allows seventh-grade students to reflect on the concepts that they learned in sixth-grade and prepare to learn more about world history through the modern era. Students will review primary and secondary sources, geographic knowledge, timelines and the importance of studying history.
