Early American History
Welcome to 8th Grade Social Studies!
Welcome to 8th Grade Social Studies!
This year we will discover America from European settlement through Civil War Reconstruction. We will evaluate primary and secondary sources and discover the validity of sources online. We will determine the purpose of government and participate as active citizens of our classroom while we discuss, debate and get creative with projects. We will explore business and finances as they apply to our country and our own personal lives and we will explore continuity and change in American History through the eyes of historians.
