7TH GRADE EXPERIMENT

History is becoming more than
a record of mans thoughts and
achievements through the ages to
the students of the Correlated
Studies Program in the seventh
grade of Smyrna High School. The
Correlated Studies Program, or
Core for short, was introduced to
the seventh grade this year. The
Core has for its purpose to show
the students the direct and vital
relationships among the courses
he is taking At present here in
Smyrna, the Core is functioning
in the 7th grade English and So
cial studies classes.
English and social studies lend
themselves we'll to this type of
program. In the pictures we can
actually see the two courses COM
ing together for the young folks.
They are working on a rather
large and comprehensive project
dealing with three important cul-
lures: the Roman, the Indian, and
the Chinese.
In the large picture on the
right we can see the class at
work On the project, using the
things they have learned in social
studies. But, to transfer this
knowledge to their final reports,
they must use the knowledge of
English they have learned in the
same class. The top left picture
shows children using map reading
skills- social studies; and reading
English to find out just
where certain things happened. In
the center picture we see students
selecting reference books, again
combining the two subjects. Fin
ally, we see the young folks in
the bottom picture looking at the
finished projects. Here they see
the outcome of their labors and
develop ideas of judgement. They
learn from mistakes; they learn
what to do and what not to do
next time" Each member of the
class may examine all the re-
ports, this enables each student
to broaden his knowledge of the
subject
