7th Standards NC
Students in seventh grade will continue to expand upon the knowledge, skills and understanding acquired in the sixth grade examination of
early civilizations. Seventh graders study the world from the Age of Exploration to contemporary times in order to understand the implications
of increased global interactions. The focus will remain on the discipline of geography by using the themes of location, place, movement,
human-environmental interaction and region to understand modern societies and regions. This course will guide students through patterns of
change and continuity with a focus on conflict and cooperation, economic development, population shifts, political thought and organization,
cultural values and beliefs and the impact of environment over time. Through an investigation of the various factors that shaped the
development of societies and regions in the modern world and global interactions, students will examine both similarities and differences. A
conscious effort should be made to include an integrated study of various societies and regions from every continent (Africa, Asia, Europe, the
Americans and Australia).
The standards are organized around five strands: history, geography and environmental literacy, economics and financial literacy, civics and
governance and culture. The strands should not be taught in isolation, but woven together in an integrated study that helps understand the
world in which we live. Additionally, the course includes two types of essential standards one that identifies the skills that students should
master during the course of the year and another that identifies the knowledge and understandings. The skills should be taught within the
context of applying knowledge and understandings to a study of the modern world.
