Welcome to the Bolton High School U.S. History home page!
In U.S. History, students explore the evolution of the American identity and its role in the global community as they learn about the industrialization, consolidation, and corporatization of the United States; foreign policy from imperialism to intervention in World War I; economic prosperity and decline between the world wars; the re-assertion of American exceptionalism following World War II and during the Cold War; and the shifting role of the United States in the increasingly intertwined modern global community.
To be productive members of society, students must be critical consumers of information they read, hear, and observe and communicate effectively about their ideas. They need to gain knowledge from a wide array of sources and examine and evaluate that information to develop and express an informed opinion, using information gained from the sources and their background knowledge.
Students must also make connections between what they learn about the past and the present to understand how and why events happen and people act in certain ways.
Students are expected to join and be active in Google Classroom.
This class can be quite challenging and I have high expectations, but hard work and dedication are rewarded.
