[quote=Anonymous][u]New course description:[/u]

This course is built around the core Grade 6 social studies curriculum that includes historical content from early civilizations, the empires of Greece and Rome, the dynasties of China, and civilizations of the first millennium. Cohort students will go beyond this core however as they learn additional content, explore deeper connections to today, engage in investigative inquiry to strengthen their writing through Document Based Questions, and enhance their learning through relevant literature connections.

[u]Existing course description in some of the MS - 2016-17 Advanced World Studies 6 (7897) [/u]

This course provides enriched opportunities for learning about ancient world history. Building on the current four units of Grade 6 world studies [Greece, Rome, China, etc..], students will deepen their understanding of the rich cultures and history from the earliest human settlements to great civilizations of the year 1000 CE. Students are challenged to analyze archaeological evidence, ask questions to further their knowledge, and understand history as an ongoing investigation. These historical thinking, reading, and writing skills support success in future Advanced Placement and honors social studies courses.

I don't see all that much difference.[/quote]
