U.S. History

Course Expectations 16-17

This course examines how the American republic was formed, how that republic emerged as a world power, and the choices and challenges the nation experienced along the way. We begin our study with the founding of the nation. Thereafter, we focus on the emergence of the United States as a modern nation and the political, economic, and social developments of the Twentieth Century. This course is also designed to develop and reinforce the critical thinking and writing skills of students. Students will gain experience generating arguments, assessing evidence, and articulating clear and cogent positions on issues critical to the history of the United States of America. Student progress is assessed through homework, class participation, quizzes, tests, essays, and semester exams.
