Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr C. Redpath.

Social Studies is the study of people. We aim to make students more knowledgeable about their world and give them skills to be active citizens in society.  Critical thinking is encouraged as well as how to become a responsible citizen. The theme for this year is Change. We examine how change effects societies and the environment and how people respond to these changes. A variety of inquiry, literacy and processing skills are used throughout the course.
