Goal: Massachusetts academic standards: Social studies, Grade 7

## 1. History · Ancient Greece

- [Hidden Voices of Greece and Rome](https://ai.page/c/hidden-voices-of-greece-and-rome/index.md): Examine the lives of people usually left out of the Greek and Roman story — enslaved people who made up roughly 30% of Athens and powered Rome's economy, women whose lives varied dramatically between Athens (largely confined to the home) and Sparta (physical training, property ownership), and conquered peoples across both empires — and evaluate whose voices are missing from the historical record and why
- [Greek Philosophers and Medicine](https://ai.page/c/greek-philosophers-and-medicine/index.md): Know that Greek thinkers called philosophers developed ways of understanding the world that still influence us today — Socrates asked challenging questions to test ideas (the Socratic method), Plato imagined the ideal society, Aristotle observed and classified the natural world — and that Hippocrates is called the father of medicine for insisting on natural causes of illness rather than blaming the gods

## 2. History · Ancient and Classical Rome, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire

- [Roman Republic and Empire](https://ai.page/c/roman-republic-and-empire/index.md): Explain how Rome was first governed as a republic — with elected consuls, a powerful Senate, and a distinction between patricians and plebeians — before becoming an empire ruled by emperors like Augustus (who brought peace, the Pax Romana) and Nero, and compare republican government with Athenian direct democracy

## 3. World History I · 11th–15th Centuries CE

- [Magna Carta and Limiting Royal Power](https://ai.page/c/magna-carta-and-limiting-royal-power/index.md): King John, the barons' revolt, and the sealing of the Magna Carta in 1215; what the Magna Carta said about limiting the king's power; its lasting importance for democracy and rights
