7th Grade Social Studies
Mr. Howard
Topic: World History
Why is this number important?
175
What is our purpose????
• In 7th grade, our primary purpose is to learn
about different cultures throughout the world.
We will focus on the history of cultures that
existed many years ago (“World History”).
• We will also learn about government,
economics, and geography.
General Expectations
• 1. You will attempt to LEARN about social
studies.
• 2. You will give GOOD EFFORT.
• 3. You will complete activities and
assignments.
• 4. You will BEHAVE appropriately.
• 5. You will RESPECT others.
• 6. You will BE PREPARED.
How Will I Be Successful?
You will be successful if you choose to be. This
means that you must be responsible and make
good choices. For example, if you don’t study for
a test, it is likely that you will not do well.
Another example concerns behavior. If you have
good behavior, it is because you make that
choice. If it’s not good, you made that choice
instead. You are in control of your actions. As a
7th grader, you can make good choices!
