Age 10-12 Full Year Social Studies Package
Social studies continues from where Age 9-11 left off. U.S. history covers the Civil War to modern times using authentic documents like speeches and letters. Geography comes alive through hands-on map-making and landform studies. The year concludes with a look at the modern social environment of the Americas and an immersive exploration of the ancient civilizations of the Aztecs, Incas, and Maya. Extensive readings and interactive projects—such as recreating artifacts and participating in debates—provide a dynamic learning experience that fosters critical thinking and a deep appreciation for history.
The 8 books dive into:
- History
- Geography
To make these topics come alive, your child will participate in a variety of hands-on projects and activities, such as:
- Crafting personalized and world maps
- Engaging in mock debates and reenactments
- Analyzing primary sources like speeches, letters, and historical newspapers
- Cooking traditional dishes
- Writing and delivering speeches
- Interpreting coded messages using the Navajo Code Talkers' Dictionary
