United States History is a challenging course that is meant to enhance
the students’ ability to reason and think like an historian. It is a
two-semester survey of American history from the Age of Exploration and
Discovery to the present. Solid reading and writing skills, along with
willingness to devote considerable time to homework and study, are
necessary to succeed. Emphasis is placed on critical and evaluative
thinking skills, writing, and interpretation of original documents. In
this required eleventh grade course, students analyze and evaluate
American political, social, and economic behavior during major periods
in the nation’s experience. Multiple factors that affect continuity and
change in historical settings are studied, in addition to the
outstanding contributions of individual Americans. The course traces the
change in ethnic composition of American society, the movement toward
equal rights for racial minorities and women, and the expanding role of
the Federal government. |
