This page was designed to help our seventh grade students prepare for the social studies final that they will be taking at the end of this year. Below, is a list of the topics that we will be studying in our classes throughout the 2006-2007 school year. The final will include questions about each of these topics. If you have any questions about the material in these activities, please contact your social studies teacher.
Good Luck,
