Description

Grade 6 history focuses on big ideas that still shape the world. Students review map skills and study the great deserts, then examine lasting ideas from ancient Greece and Rome — democracy, philosophy, law and the debate over Rome's fall. They study the Enlightenment's faith in reason, the French Revolution and Napoleon, Romanticism, the Industrial Revolution and the competing ideas of capitalism and socialism, and independence movements in Latin America. In American history they explore immigration, industrialization, cities and labor, and the reform movements of the Populist and Progressive eras, including civil rights and women's suffrage.
