Welcome to Georgia History!
The curriculum for 8th Grade Social Studies centers around the study of Georgia's geography, history, and government.
We will study the following topics:
Geography, Prehistory and the Age of Exploration, Colonization, American Revolution, American Government, Westward Expansion, Antebellum Era, Civil War & Reconstruction, Progressive Era – World War I, Great Depression, New Deal,
World War II, Modern Georgia, and State and Local Government.
As we begin this school year, I hope to instill a love of history in each learner and watch them grow in this journey.
My goals for this year include: * help each student see themselves as historians * develop each student's interest in Georgia's history * provide a supportive and fun environment *help each student progress toward high school
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, as well as, conferences. This will be a great year and I am excited to work with you!
