Tuesday Themed Class

 

7th grade Tuesday class is divided into 18 Thematic Units and a Final Project which focuses on the historical periods studied in class each week.  A Thematic unit is the organization of a curriculum around a central theme that integrates subjects across the curriculum such as reading, writing,  communicating, social studies, math, science, visual arts, drama/theater, music and SEL. 

 

In this second part of World History, 7th graders explore significant events and developments all over the globe, beginning with the Fall of Rome in the 5th century A.D., and extending to the modern ages of Reformation, Exploration, and 17th-century Enlightenment.
