The aim of this course is twofold: to guide students toward more perceptive reading as well as more articulate writing. Similar to a writer’s workshop, students practice the craft of shaping thoughts and share aloud what they have written. Similar to a book group, students lead class discussions and present evidence that supports their conclusions.

In the first semester, the seventh grade History class will explore Western Europe and Latin America, and in the second semester, students will explore early American History. The month of May is dedicated to the 7th Grade final project called "Dude, That's Wrong" in which individual students will identify and explore a global problem that concerns them.

Students develop historical thinking skills as well as historical understanding of the individual and collective experiences of people who make up our diverse nation. The course is designed to challenge and motivate active, confident learners through a variety of skill-building exercises. Students gain the ability to analyze historical events and grapple with the complexities of past and current events.
