General Course Information
“Seventh graders study the world from the Late Middle Ages to
contemporary times (approximately 1400 – Present) in order to understand
the implications of increased global interactions.
The focus will
remain on the discipline of geography by using the themes of location,
place, movement, human-environmental interaction, and region to
understand modern societies and regions. This course will guide students
through patterns of change and continuity with a focus on conflict and
cooperation, economic development, population shifts, political thought
and organization, cultural values and beliefs and the impact of
environments over time.
Through an investigation of the various factors
that shaped the development of societies and regions in the modern world
and global interactions, students will examine both similarities and
differences.”
