Social studies is a school subject that assists students to acquire the basic knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes needed to be responsible citizens and contributing members of society.  The content of social studies draws upon history, geography, economics, other social sciences, the behavioural sciences and the humanities.  The content also serves as the context in which important skills and attitudes are developed.

 

During this year the 6/7A class will be taking the grade 7 Social Studies curriculum which focuses on Canadian history leading up to Confederation and the events since that event.  Before each chapter, the students will be required to pre-learn given vocabulary words that will be used.  This will be done as the students will be required to neatly print out these words and definitions into their definitions notebook.
