For social studies we will primarily be using the Social Studies Alive!, America's Past TCI curriculum. We will be covering the history of America from the original inhabitants of North America to the early years of the nation.
The 9 units we will cover are:
The Land and People Before Columbus
Age of Exploration
Cooperation and Conflict in North America
The Road to War
The American Revolution
The development and Significance of the U.S. Constitution
Life and Westward Expansion in the Young Republic
From the Civil War to Today
Wrap-Up-Being a Good Citizen
In addition to the TCI curriculum, students will engage in a variety of other texts including primary sources, maps, and novels related to the material. Students will also be tasked with a combination of essays, projects, and presentations to engage more fully and critically with our lessons. While the curriculum will be our foundation for learning, the ultimate goal is to go beyond basic facts and engage in critical thinking and learn to write and think like a historian.Â
