U.S. History
America has come a long way since Columbus discovered the New World. The U.S. History classes began the year learning about colonization, and the reasons behind European expansion into the New World. We’ve explored the development of a new people through the creation of mock-colonies of our own, skits, student and teacher-made PowerPoint presentations, and intense discussion. This week we’re working hard to follow the maps of the Revolutionary War and create a timeline of the battles. Students are learning how to put their work into writing through the start of research papers, journaling, and answering document based questions. This will be a great year as we continue to explore development and cycles of America’s history. What would Columbus say if he could see us now?
