Social Studies Happenings
Grade 6
Sixth graders are currently researching ancient Egyptian pyramid building with an eye toward creating miniature pyramids chock full of information.
Grade 7
Seventh grade social studies classes recently completed working on the Document Based Question (DBQ) essay framework. Currently, seventh graders are learning about the Enlightenment. They are working collaboratively to prepare a lesson to teach to the class about each Enlightenment idea.
Grade 8
Eighth grade students in Mr. Mahaney's class are presenting their research on various Native American groups that lived in the western plains and prairies in the 1800s.
Black History Month
The Social Studies Department is partnering with the MA Media Club to celebrate Black History Month. Each week in February, over the announcements, students will hear a story of a great Black American without telling his or her name. On Thursday at lunch, students can guess the Black History Month Mystery Person. On Friday, we will award a fabulous prize to the winner. Clues about the Black American Mystery Person will start on Monday, February 5th. Classroom teachers will also be exploring Black History Month in their classrooms.
