Students will take notes, analyze text, and determine the G.R.A.P.E.S. for Ancient Egypt after reading a piece of informational text. Students will then learn about the Neolithic Revolution and how the discovery and development of farming led to the first civilizations.

Social Studies Update Week of 8/4/25

Greetings 7th Grade Families,

This week in Social Studies we went over the syllabus and I asked students to take that home, go over it with you, sign it and bring it back. If you haven't see it yet, please ask your student to show it to you. We then analyzed 6 reasons why it is important to study history. Students read the quotes and then in their own words, explained why that reason was important. Students then ranked the 6 reasons. Finally students wrote two paragraphs using their #1 and #2 rankings. This assignment is due on Monday, so students who did not finished put the assignment in their blue folder and should complete it over the weekend.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Rowan
