1 Social Studies: 7 th Grade In social studies, there are two types of work that we do. One is developing skills, like reading maps, analyzing primary and secondary sources, understanding cause and effect and reading and using timelines. Another type is learning the content and analyzing the relationship between historical events and groups of people. Core Question1: What can I do to help my child prepare for 7 th grade Social Studies? 1. Working with maps beyond just identifying places is a skill that is the basis for understanding historical events. Some examples are: From what city did the first crusade start?
2 During which Crusades was the city of Jerusalem invaded by the Christians? In what ways did the third Crusade travel to the Arabian Peninsula? 2. Talking to students about current events and how they relate to history. Some examples are: We study the crusades, which occurred during the middle ages and in the Middle East. Many people discuss that this fight has continued throughout the ages between the Muslims and the Christians. We study how the Europeans sent explorers to the new world to look for new land in the name of their country. Discuss the current events on immigration, languages spoken in different parts of the world, or cultural differences between people in different parts of the world. 3. Discuss your religious/spiritual beliefs and where they come from. We discuss different religious origins and the beliefs of people during the Middle Ages and students often have more questions about where their beliefs come from and want to know more about their own houses of worship. 4. Have students look at controversial issues from both sides and create an argument based on the facts or their beliefs. Having them examine both sides to an issue can help them to create better arguments and therefore, better writing in the area of social studies. Should there be school uniforms? Students will commonly say that there should not be uniforms; you might ask them why schools might be implementing uniforms. You might also ask them what benefit there might be for the kids to have them. Should there be a 0 tolerance policy for violent behaviors in schools? Was exploration a good thing or bad thing? Who should rule the government? Is gold worth the same as salt? Should people be able to move up the social ladder, or should people stay where they are regardless of how hard they work? 5. Students should know how to read a timeline that includes events Before Common Era (B.C.E. or B.C) and after Common Era (C.E. or A.D.) Adding and subtracting to know how many years passed in between events Putting events in order according to the dates they happened Deciding what are important events to put on timelines Knowing when events happened in relation to other events
3 Core Question 2: What will my child learn throughout the year during 7 th grade Social Studies? What can I do at home to support what is being learned at school? Unit 1 1. Describing the difference between primary and secondary sources. Examples of Primary Sources (First-hand account of an event/time period): Diary Autobiography Memoire Examples of Secondary Sources (Second-hand account of an event/time period): Textbook Biography Historical Fiction Encyclopedia 2. Identifying the seven elements of a civilization. A place can only be called a civilization if it has all of the following: Social Structure Writing Technology Government Stable Food Supply
4 Arts Religion 3. Beginning to understand social structure (Egypt) Every civilization organizes its people into groups according to what they think of as important (money, education, land ownership, livestock ownership, etc.) and those at the top of the social structure have the most power, while those at the bottom have little power. 1. Was Ancient Sumer a civilization? 2. Must every society become a civilization? Unit 2 1. The Feudal System Barbarian attacks forced the Europeans to create a new social class system.

Ghana charged salt traders gold in order to go through to gold mines to the south of Ghana, despite having no resources of their own. This practice continued as Mali and Songhai developed into civilizations. 3. Influence of Islam in West Africa As Muslims moved into West Africa, they began to change many of the cultural aspects of the region. They changed the language, government, art and architecture, laws, and education.

Parents can also monitor progress by helping students keep track of assignments, their assigned dates, and due dates and asking students to see their work that has been returned. Going through the work and expectations (rubrics, checklists, or grades) and reflecting on how to do better the next time, or to continue the work that they have done.
