COURSE DESCRIPTION
Social Studies 2 empowers students to become productive citizens by developing their knowledge and skills in civics, history, geography, and economics. In this course, students deepen their understanding of the U.S. government by explaining the role of the three branches of government. Students extend their knowledge of U.S. history to recognize important figures, they begin to think like historians by identifying reliable sources, crafting compelling questions, distinguishing fact and opinion, and using timelines to structure a series of events. The course highlights the role of international trade, as well as the importance of geography and the cultures found around the world. Students learn core concepts in economics, including scarcity and the functions of banks. This course includes a printed Parent and Teacher Guide that will help you support your student’s learning.
