2 Content Area: Social Studies Target Course/Grade Level: 7 Unit Overview Template Unit Summaries: Unit 1: Colonization The Mercantilist System in the Americas We will begin the year with a review of the European division of North America. We will review the thirteen British colonies, paying particular attention to the development of the economy and government of each. We will examine the slave trade as a tool of the mercantilist system, and the evolution of slavery in the Americas. We will discuss the causes and ramifications of the French & Indian War, and their effect on British/colonial relations. We will examine the role of representation as it relates to self governance and taxation, and the continually escalating struggle between Great Britain and her North American colonies. Using a cause & effect model, we will trace the series of events that ultimately led the colonies to declare independence, including the roles played by the Founding Fathers. We will investigate the Declaration of Independence as a model for other movements and nations in their struggles for freedom and equality. We will explore the early battles of the Revolutionary War, as Britain and the newly independent states first clashed in and around Boston, Massachusetts. We will follow the course of the war to the middle states, as both sides struggled for control of New York, and the Patriots won important victories in Trenton and Saratoga. We will examine the less prominent battles fought on the western frontier and at sea, and then follow the troops south to investigate the final years of the war, culminating in Cornwallis surrender at Yorktown. To round out this unit of study, we will utilize primary source materials to enhance our understanding of the roles of women and African Americans during the Revolution. Unit 4: Forming a New Nation The Articles of Confederation & The Constitution We will explore the struggles of the newly formed nation under the Articles of Confederation, which ultimately led to the call for reform. We will examine, in detail, the debates and compromises of the Constitutional Convention, and the roles the Framers in creating The Constitution. We will trace the evolution of the Bill of Rights, and discuss the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. We will investigate the structure and function of the federal government. We will examine Washington s role as the nation s first President, including his efforts to organize the government and build a strong economy. We will investigate the development of a foreign policy as the US took a neutral position regarding conflict in Europe. We will explore the emergence of political parties, their effect on our government, and their role in American political life, including connections to modern political parties. We will examine the presidency of John Adams, and debate the merit of such controversial policies as the Alien and Sedition Acts. Social Studies Skills: Guided note taking in class and note taking from independent reading: Cornell Method & Formal Outline Research based project/writing Formal writing Map and globe skills Geography concepts, including world geography and the six essential elements Unit Rationale/Big Idea: Unit 1: Colonization The Mercantilist System in the Americas France, Britain, and Spain each claimed large holdings in the Americas. European exploration/conquest in the Americas was driven by mercantilism. The slave trade was a tool of the mercantilist economic system. The demands of the mercantilist system created conflict between Great Britain and her North American colonies, primarily over the issues of self governance and taxation. This conflict escalated over more than a decade, and culminated in the colonies declaring independence.

3 The American Revolution was a long and difficult struggle that resulted in the Thirteen Colonies winning their independence from Great Britain. Unit 4: Forming a New Nation The Articles of Confederation & The Constitution The Constitution was the result of hard won compromise on the part of the Framers. It is comprised of the Preamble, the Articles, and the Amendments, and rests on seven basic principles. As the nation s first president, Washington took steps to make the new government work. Political parties emerged as differing views of what was best for the nation clashed.

6 Unit Essential Questions Unit 1: Colonization The Mercantilist System in the Americas Is there a limit to what an individual, company, or nation should be allowed to do make money? OR Is greed good? Is fighting ever the solution to a problem? Is it fair to start a fight if people who do not want to be involved will get hurt? How do people endure hardships? OR When the going gets tough, what makes the tough get going? What is the value of home field advantage? Unit 4: Forming a New Nation The Articles of Confederation & The Constitution What makes a set of rules fair? Do the things that make a set of rules fair, also make them effective? If you re right, why compromise? Is debate healthy? What makes a leader great? If someone is a bad leader, but puts great ideas into action, does that make him/her good? Unit Enduring Understandings Unit 1: Colonization The Mercantilist System in the Americas The mercantilist economic model was used by European nations to increase their wealth and power, primarily through the exploitation of others. The British colonists in North America chafed under British rule, and wanted to govern themselves enough to make great sacrifices in order to do so. The story of the American Revolution is one of mistakes, hardships, and near constant doubt. It was a victory built of equal parts luck and grit. Unit 4: Forming a New Nation The Articles of Confederation & The Constitution The Constitution would not have been possible if the Framers did not accept the premise that compromise, however hard won, is essential to democracy and to governing. Citizenship in a democracy has both right AND responsibilities. Geoorge Washington s presidency was a pivotal moment in time for the new nation. Political debate, both civil and acrimonious, is not a modern invention. A democratic government requires the participation of its citizens at all levels.
