7 Year ELA/SS Curriculum Sequence
In addition to the following information Jose would like us to gather (see links below sequence map), we also need to develop a 7 year plan for course sequencing. We should strive for a cohesive social studies curriculum that logically builds upon what was learned the previous year, with unique course titles that don't necessary map exactly with Regents Exams, but map with our school's unique themes and goals. My suggestion is mapped below:
