Welcome to Open House Lost Mountain Middle School Ms. Carmela Martinez 7th/8th Grade Social Studies

What’s in This Year’s Course? In eighth grade, students study Georgia geography, history, government, and economics. While the four strands are interwoven, ample opportunity is also provided for in-depth study of the geography of Georgia and the government of Georgia. U.S. historical events are included, as appropriate, to ensure students understand Georgia’s role in the history of the United States
