Course Description
This course is the second in a three-course sequence
of world studies. World Studies 7 focuses on the history,
geography, and culture of Asia and Africa. First semester
includes units on physical geography, prehistory, the
ancient history of early civilizations, and the physical
and cultural studies of North Africa, the Middle East,
and South Asia. Second semester includes the history,
physical geography, and cultural features of Southeast
Asia, China, Japan, the Koreas, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Teachers have designed a World Studies Model for examining
the cultures studied in grades six, seven, and eight.
A Note on the Standards
The seventh grade curriculum includes both Boise School
District and State of Idaho standards. State standards
include content knowledge and skills in the following
areas: critical thinking, map skills, geography, adaptation
to physical environment and systems, economics, technological
advancements of various societies, migration and diffusion,
the cultural and social development of Asia and Africa,
and the interdependence of diverse societies. While
each standard is expressed through specific, associated
instructional objectives, instructors should seek opportunities
to apply the standards throughout the course.
