Economically priced, as low as $15.80 per student! The South Carolina Academic Support Program Social Studies Grade 7 ("ASP") is perfect for summer school or targeted intervention during the school year. As a complete, turnkey solution for improving educational performance, the ASP targets striving students and diverse classrooms

Developed in partnership with Richland County School District One, the ASP recognizes that many students aren't reached by traditional "skill and drill" or strict test-prep approaches. For these students, the ASP includes components that review, instruct as needed, provide practice, and assess students' skills.

The sturdy 3-ring binder includes:

• More than 30 lessons correlated to the South Carolina Social Studies Academic Standards, with reproducible activity sheets
• Application activities to provide critical-thinking experiences
• A collection of hands-on enrichment activities
• A reproducible glossary to help students build vocabulary
• A supportive teacher's guide that:
  • describes the purpose of the materials and options for using the package
  • provides pacing guide options
  • references specific standards
  • recommends an assortment of graphic organizers for instructional use
  • includes reproducible maps

The reproducible student activities in the ASP draw students into the era of colonization and settlement by Europeans in the New World; the period of political revolution in Europe; and contemporary issues beginning with World War II. Many activities in the ASP, draw on original source materials. This device personalizes distant events for students and helps them enter into the lives and cultures of these centuries.

• The Teacher's Guide helps you navigate the materials with the pacing guides, offers graphic organizers and suggested strategies for their use, provides maps that are used in the instructional units, and shows how the lessons correlate to the South Carolina Social Studies Academic Standards identified by Richland One for summer school instruction.

• Parts 1 and 2 focus on content-area strategies for vocabulary and reading within Social Studies.

• Parts 3 though 10 focus on Sea Routes Link the Globe; The Colonial Economy; The Rise of Slavery; Europe in the Global Age; Revolutions, Nationalism and Reform; World War II; Postwar to Millennium; and The Modern Global World.

The ASP is completely reproducible. Use it to review, instruct as needed, provide practice, and assess your students' skills.
