Welcome to 6th grade World Culture Class!

In Grade 6, students will expand their knowledge and study people, places, and societies of the contemporary world*. Through a number of different activities, students will describe the influence of individuals and groups on historical and contemporary events and identify the locations and geographic characteristics of various societies throughout the world. Students will identify different ways of organizing economic and governmental systems. The concepts of limited and unlimited government are introduced and students describe the nature of citizenship in various societies. Students will compare institutions common to all societies such as government, education, and religious institutions.

What is World Cultures Class?

 

6th grade World Cultures class is an introduction to other cultures around the world. Students will first study the geography of the world. Next, students will study ways that people live, governments, religions, foods, and other elements that bind a group of people together as a culture. We will study people and places on every continent with the exception of Antarctica.

Expectations


Students are expected to come to school and do
their best each day. I have only one rule: Do not create a problem for anyone else. This includes all people on Earth. Students have created and set forth their own set of rules, which are posted and will also be enforced.

Students should enter the room silently and read their daily agenda, objectives, and obtain their interactive notebook. They should then begin their warm-up. Students will know what is expected for the remainder of the class by referring to the S.L.A.N.T. poster.

S – Sit up Straight
L – Look at the person talking
A – Ask or answer a question
N – Nod your head if you agree/disagree
T – Track your speaker
