8-1 Social Studies
Welcome 8th Graders!!
I hope you had a great summer!!
**What you need for class:
For Social Studies this year you will need your school issued chromebook, headphones, and a folder for Social Studies. We will use Google Classroom for most class assignments and activities. We will also use various online platforms to learn about American History in a fun interactive way!
**What we will study this year:
This U.S. History Course is divided into 2 parts. The school year will begin with Westward Expansion and will continue through American history to the Reconstruction Era. We will study key U.S. Historical events including Manifest Destiny/Expansion of the U.S., the Industrial Revolution and the Civil War. The second part of the school year will encompass a study of Civics, Government and Human Rights.
In addition, we will learn valuable skills that are necessary for academic success this year and for many school years to come!
**Enjoy the rest of your summer break! See you soon :)
