Level 1 - Tupac and Joe - Social Studies


At level 1 Social Studies, there are 20 credits on offer.  There are 3 internal achievement standards and 2 external, each worth 4 credits each.
The topics we cover are:
*  Social Networking - the causes and consequences
*  The 40 Hour Famine
*  Burma's fight for rights
*  Tokelau - Our small world
and two external topics that will be provided at the end of the year.

Senior social studies is about how societies work and how people can participate in their communities as informed, critical, active, and responsible citizens.
Students examine the causes and effects of social issues that relate to identity, culture, and organisation, and learn to take actions that may bring about social improvement.
They investigate how individuals, communities, and societies respond to change and how ideas about society develop over time.
