As Americans watch the evening news or follow elections, the events of today have a long tradition. In this Social Studies course, students will learn about the United States' fascinating history beginning with Christopher Columbus' landing in the "New World." We will look at our American past from multiple perspectives, highlighting the experiences of Native Americans, African Americans, women, and other often marginalized groups. Students will learn firsthand what people living during these times thought by reading primary documents, summarizing their main ideas, and thinking critically about the past.
