Students do not need to purchase any additional supplies for 7th grade
world studies. Each world studies class has a class set of atlases and
textbooks. Photocopies of pages will be given to students as needed. 
Pocket folders and paper will also be provided as needed. Students
will be given a world studies table of contents foreach unit to use in
their primary binders. These are the book titles I'm using to
supplement the curriculum: 

"A World Lit Only by Fire," William Manchester, 1992, Little, Brown.
"The Making of the Middle Ages," R.W. Southern, 1953, Yale University.
"Guns, Germs, and Steel," Jared Diamond, 1999, W.W. Norton & Co.
"A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World," William J.
Bernstein, 2008, Tantor Media, Inc.
