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 :)
