Utah+Course+Outline

**Utah Studies 7th Grade ** Utah Studies is designed to give students an understanding of the state that they live in from everything including geography, shape of the land, its government and economy, and the historical events. The MYP concepts of communication, holistic learning, and intercultural awareness will be incorporated as students learn how their understanding of life will improve their ability to be a responsible student. The IB Learner Profile will be implemented daily. Each day a learner profile quality will be selected that addresses the focus of the lesson for that specific day. The Areas of Interaction (AOI) will be a key component of each of our class units. The units and their corresponding Area of Interaction can be found in the table below. Approaches to Learning will be an AOI that will be addressed in every unit. Students will discover how they use their historical skills to apply their knowledge to the impact of events on Utah. We will use various resources and the textbook //The Utah Journey// to explore geography, Indians, pioneers, and modern historical events. Within each of these units the following methodologies will be used teacher direct instruction, demonstrations, skills, knowledge information, cooperative group work, researching, presentations, and student reflection. Both formative and summative assessment will be used throughout this course. Grading policy for academic and IB grades will follow our school assessment policy. Students will have the opportunity to earn an IB grade for each Humanities criterion multiple times throughout the course. **State Standards ** || **Unit Title ** || **Significant Concept(s) **  ||  **Area of Interaction **  ||  **Unit Question **  ||  **Student Learning Expectation(s) **  ||  **Culminating Assessment Task **  ||  **MYP Assessment Criteria **  ||  **Time Frame **  || (Geography) || Interpret information and apply it to our world || Environments || Where Am I? || Students will show awareness and understanding of maps and geography through creating maps and quizzes to analyze the environment we are in. || Students will complete a map quiz label significant political and physical features as well as write of the importance of physical features to the development of Utah. || <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 12px;">Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding || <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">Sept <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">3 weeks || **<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">Standard ** **<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">2 **
