A civilization is made up of many parts. We will use G.R.A.P.E.S. to remember them. The GRAPES acronym in Social Studies means:
Geography Religion Achievements Politics Economy Social structures
We are currently learning about historical themes (pages xxii – xxiii in your textbook). The themes listed in the book are the same as GRAPES. Click on this link to learn more about GRAPES.
To help you understand the themes you will be learning about this year, consider these questions and comment on one or more of them:
Geography: Is your town or city near a lake, ocean, or mountains? What is the weather like? How do the landscape and weather affect the way you live?
Religion or Belief Systems: As you are growing up, how do you learn what are the right and wrong ways of behaving? What people or groups taught you those things?
Politics or Government: In our school, what would happen if every student could come to class whatever time he or she wanted? Leave class whenever he or she wanted? Talk out loud anytime, even during tests?
