Social Studies 1 B

In Social Studies 1 B, the student will focus on how people in communities work together for the benefit of all. In this course, the student will learn about the various ways individuals contribute to their communities. The concept of good citizenship is woven throughout the course as the student learns about caring for the earth’s environment. The student will continue working on geography skills and explore different cultures and traditions. The course ends with a study of time and the changes in life throughout history. The student will build reading, listening, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through the course activities. The course text is Pearson’s my World Social Studies: Making Our Way workbook. To learn more about communities, the student will explore maps, photographs, illustrations, music, and other resources. Multimedia resources, including videos and interactive websites, enhance and support the content.
