This year we will work hard and have a lot of fun.  We will study the Eastern Hemisphere, which includes the continents of Africa, Asia, and Australia.  We will focus specifically on the 5 Themes of Geography and analyzing current events.  Throughout the school year, we will utilize technology to help us better understand the world around us.  Please click on the links below to visit the class blog and the class wiki.  Click here to view the class syllabus.

The class blog is a place to keep up with what's happening in class.  The blog will contain links to videos and interactive sites related to what we are studying in class.  It is sort of like a day by day diary about 7th grade Social Studies.  Sometimes, you will be asked to visit the blog, or even comment on blog posts.  The blog is a great way for parents to keep up with what is happening in class too!

Our class blog website is:  http://prattsocialstudies.edublogs.org

A wiki is place where people can collaborate, or work together, on the internet.  The best know example of a wiki is wikipedia.com, where people can contribrute to encyclopedia articles about anything in the world.  Our class will be creating our own wiki this year.  Students will work together to create an informative resource about Social Studies online.  We will include important vocabulary words and concepts covered in class.  For more information about wikis, please visit our wiki's website.
