Welcome to 8th Grade U.S. History

The objective of this course is to promote a deep understanding of the roots behind America's rich history. Students will be exposed to the historical, geographic, political, economic, and sociological events which influenced the development of the United States through the period of Colonization through the period of Reconstruction following the Civil War. Within this course students will also deepen their literacy and critical thinking skills through applying these skills in a historical context.
