During this year in Social Studies students will have the opportunity to investigate what
worldview is, how it is shaped and formed, and what happens as a result of intercultural
contact. In particular, we will focus on how the worldviews of Renaissance Europeans, the
Aztecs, and the Japanese of Edo and Meiji periods changed because of intercultural contact.
In Language Arts we will be studying three separate novels:
a. Touching Spirit Bear
b. The Outsiders
c. A Monster Calls
