Mission: Teachings provide students with the skills to enable them to understand how the past affects the present and how to make informed decisions to participate in a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world.
To provide students with the opportunity to develop a knowledge and understanding of:
• How people relate to one another and to their environment
• How societies compare and contrast in different times and places
• How societies attempt to solve their problems
• How the present is built on the past and shapes the future as witnessed in current events
• How anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, political science and sociology are interwoven in social studies
Admitted 9th grade Nexus students will take World Geography. The students will be taken on a journey around the world in which they will learn about the physical and human geography of various regions. They will study the history of each region and examine the political, economic, and cultural characteristics of the world in which you live. Students will also learn about the tools and technologies of geography such as globes, maps, charts, and global information systems. Students will also gain practice in writing and note-taking. They will be asked to create graphic organizers, conduct research, analyze information, and write essays on topics such as current events, energy resources, and national parks.
