Seventh Grade Social Studies Transition Curriculum Map 2010-2011 Academic Year 1st 9 Weeks Concepts Ancient Greece (9 weeks): The Greeks became a wealthy civilization by trading and utilizing the resources from the land. Greek architecture, theater, art, education, and science are still influencing modern culture today. The geography of Greece affected the choices the Ancient Greeks made. The Greeks tried a variety of governmental systems in order to serve their people. Belief Systems in Ancient Greece were polytheistic and guided their daily lives. Content Statements History: 1, 2, 10 Geography:12, 13, 14, 15 Government: 16, 17 Economics: 20, 21 Materials to Be Used History Alive: The Ancient World (Chapters 25-31) McDougal Littell World History: Ancient Civilizations (supplemental only) 2nd 9 Weeks Ancient Rome (9 weeks): The city of Rome was founded by Latins; they borrowed many ideas and skills from their neighbors. The Roman Republic is a basis for our American government today. It later developed into the Roman Empire which became the largest empire ever to exist. Rome was the center of the vast empire, and its economics were inconsistent. Belief systems of the Romans were borrowed from the Greeks and eventually evolved into religions that are still followed today (Judaism and Christianity). Roman architecture, art, philosophy, law, language, and engineering set examples for today’s world.

However, once the feudal system collapsed, the economic survival of the Europeans depended upon the trade and commerce within the towns. One common link of the classes was their belief system. The Roman Catholic Church played an important role in the lives of the people in western Europe. Religious leaders and political leaders clashed over the direction of eastern (Eastern Orthodox Church) and western Europe (Roman Catholic Church). The language of Arabic and the religion of Islam helped to unify the people of Africa and Eastern Asia. Their contributions in science, mathematics, geography and medicine influenced the European Renaissance. Uncontrollable diseases eventually led to the development of medical discoveries that would benefit future people. Mongols influenced China and Korea, however they were unable to change the Japanese feudalistic government.

Notes: Content Statement ECON 19 will be transitioned into the pacing guide during the 2011-2012 school year. Supplemental resources need to be developed for this content statement. During the third nine weeks, teachers will transition the students from History Alive: The Ancient World into History Alive: The Medieval World and Beyond. All geography strands and most economic strands are woven throughout each unit of study throughout the entire year.
