Greetings 7th Grade Families!

This week in Social Studies students will be learning about the Neolithic Revolution and how the advent of farming allowed humans to settle in one place. With surplus and specialization, civilizations were able to rise and government, religion, language, law, and new technologies started to emerge.

Students will be taking notes, making judgements, writing, and taking a vocabulary quiz.

We are using our planners and blue homework folders every day, so if there are assignments due or work to completed I am taking time in class to have students write that down.

Please email with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Rowan

Greetings 7th Grade Families!

"Mr. Rowan, why do we need to learn this stuff?" This is a question that inevitably comes up each year. This week students will get to think about what life would be like without history and why it is important to study and learn about it. They will also learn the importance of asking good questions as we learn about the difference between Costa's Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 questions. Finally they will participate in a Historical Thinking Escape Room activity. These activities will lay the foundation for the important work they will be doing in Social Studies this year. 

Please email with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Rowan
