Course Overview:

This class will cover Ancient World History. The course is designed to meet the CA Social
Studies Content Standards for 7th grade. This course will incorporate technology, historical
movies, and lmmaking. Therefore, it is important that look over the permission slips included in
this syllabus carefully.
My goal is to create a safe and structured learning environment for all students. I expect all

will not only be expected to learn the necessary material but learn to manage yourself. I hope to
empower you with the necessary tools to succeed in any future endeavor you may tackle.
