Why study Social Studies?
_Social
Studies gives you the opportunity to understand the people and places around
you. In any future career you will need to know about these things. We want you to become informed, confident and
responsible members of our society and be able to adapt as it changes. Social Studies provides skills and knowledge
that will help you do this.
What will you learn?
_Most units contain several ‘blocks’ of work that will help you to
understand the Achievement Objectives. These are based on the 4 Social
Studies strands and are clearly set out at the start of each block of
work. These objectives also have Learning Outcomes. These explain what
you need to learn and be able to do at the end of each unit.
