Welcome to 7th grade geography!
Students in 7th grade Social Studies will study the peoples, places, and environments of the seven continents of the world. The knowledge, skills, and perspectives of the course are centered on population and cultural characteristics, landforms and climates, economic and political systems, and migration and settlement patterns within the regions of the world.
It is my expectation that students will:
· **Use maps, globes and other geographic tools to analyze the human and physical
features of countries and regions
· ** Compare and contrast the distribution, growth rates and characteristics of human populations
· **Understand the concept of culture and learn about different cultures around the world
· **Compare and contrast landforms and climates of countries and regions
· **Analyze the relationships among the environments, movement of peoples and development of societies
· **Work productively within the classroom whether in a small group, with a partner or working independently
· **Complete assigned homework and have completed and ready at beginning of class period
