Seventh Grade History Course Descriptions

United States History from 1607 to 1812

The creation and building of a new nation is the focus of seventh grade social studies. Seventh grade students study US history beginning with a review of the Colonial Period and the French and Indian War followed by the reasons for and the events leading to the American Revolution and the Revolutionary War. Study then moves on to the problems and challenges of nation building, which include the development of a workable plan of government and the War of 1812. The role of geography, economics, and politics in history are emphasized. A strand of Pennsylvania history is woven throughout the course.
