1 Brookline Social Studies Learning Standards for Grade 7 I. Overview: Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations Students in 7 th grade will begin by exploring prehistoric human life and culture. They will then investigate early civilizations to examine the origins of systems and institutions that have shaped world history. Included in this study is the exploration of systems of belief, governments, economy, art, and philosophies of the civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Students will study ancient Israel, focusing on the development of monotheism. Appraisal of the history of the ancient Greeks will enable students to deepen their understanding of democratic citizenship and logical, empirical reasoning. Finally, by surveying Roman history, students will both review efforts to disseminate the rule of law, as well as draw conclusions about the resilience of republican institutions. II. Overarching Big Ideas Physical geography has a significant effect on the rise and fall of civilizations. A civilization is a culture with a class system, an agricultural surplus, economic specialization, hierarchical political and religious institutions, writing, and monumental architecture. Through trade, spread of religious beliefs and values, and transference of technology, civilizations in one area influence civilizations in other areas. Religious and philosophical belief systems affect human behavior and social/political organization. Social and political systems change over time because of environmental, military, and ideological influences. Art forms reflect the values and belief systems of a people. Early Mediterranean civilizations shaped world history profoundly through such ideas as specialization, alphabetical writing, monotheism, scientific reasoning, democracy, and the rule of law. III. Overarching Essential Questions How does the land affect human culture? What does it mean to be civilized? What impact do civilizations have on each other? In what ways do ideas impact history? Why do civilizations rise and fall? How do early civilizations impact our world today? IV. Content Learning Expectations by Topic Prehistoric Human Life and Cultures Explore the tools of archeology and consider the impact of new technologies on our understanding of the past. Describe the great climatic and environmental changes that shaped the earth and eventually permitted the growth of human life. 1
