8 Blue Social Studies

Welcome to 8 Blue Social Studies!  In 8th grade, Social Studies is a history course - World History I.  In preparation for the change to a new Civics curriculum next year, we will be adding some history at the beginning of the year (Greece) and including more government-themed work than in previous years. 

This curriculum mostly covers Ancient Rome through Exploration, with a focus on the events that directly impacted our government and our daily lives.  You can click through the syllabus slides I provided to the students here.

This year, 8th grade Social Studies will not only be implementing HOWLs standards, but new skills-based curriculum standards.  You can see them in the above slideshow link, along with my contact information if you have any questions.

​I'm looking forward to a great year :)
