OBJECTIVE:

 

This class is designed for beginner-intermediate ESL/ELL students beginning to study United States History.  In this class, students will learn about the history of the United States from the colonial era to World War I.  They will be challenged to read and write in English in order to receive the full 5 credits of a standard social studies class.  However, this class is designed to have students utilize their limited English skills effectively and learn in a familiar and comfortable environment.
