7th grade Social Studies is a little bit of everything.  Geography, Montana History, and website design.  There is an online version of both your Geography and Montana History Textbook. There are links to both on the Links page of this website.  You will also be receiving information from The World Fact Book. Chapter and Unit resources and reviews are available on the textbook website (located on links page) but the on-line edition of the textbook is no longer available.  The code to join Google Classroom is p54cxf2

3/19 - Chapter 10 Review
          This is a quiz that you take on-line in Google Classroom.
           You must complete it by 3/20
3/20 - Long-term Project work
          You should continue to work on your Long-term project
          Your outline is due Mar 27.  It should be turned in to Google
           classroom
3/20 - Yes! Yes!Yes!  Map Games
          This is an on-going assignment.  You need to practice at
           least once a week every week.  Remember to send me a note
           so you get your 5 points every week.

3/30 - Read Chapter 11 in the textbook (pp 312-335) and watch the
            two attached videos. This chapter covers Industrial Revolution
            (late 1700s) until present day.    This means that this one chapter
            is going to cover 200-300 years.  That's a long time - several
            wars, the rise of new countries,the destruction of many of
            Europe's dynasties, and the rise of the European Union.  You will
            need to read slowly and carefully and taking notes would be a
            very good idea.    I have attached a video that covers the
            beginning of the material (The Industrial Revolution), and 2
            videos that covers the end of the material (the Cold War and the
            European Union).  The videos might make it easier to understand
            the information in the chapter.  The first one will help you
            understand how big a change the Industrial Revolution was and
            the last two will give you a better idea about the Cold War and the
            European Union. I do not expect you to have this assignment
            completed until the Thursday after Easter (April 16).
4/23 – The first draft of the website must be available for viewing. This
           means that the website is essentially complete but that editing of
           individual pages still needs to be done. The reference page should
​           be in final form by this time.
4/30 – Website complete. Your ability to edit the website will be removed.
