Curriculum Night Information
Grade 6 Overview & Pacing
The content of the sixth grade social studies curriculum rests on the belief that world history is best understood as a unified chronology in which humankind as a whole has a story to be investigated. Lessons emphasize the connectedness of civilizations and the larger patterns of historical significance that emerge from a lens not limited to a study of various “cultures.” First semester objectives provide multiple opportunities for students to investigate maps and timelines, to apply historical thinking and close reading skills, and to engage in content-driven research and inquiry. Lesson procedures include suggestions for cooperative learning structures, emphasis on formative process, and an integrated approach to technology.
