8th Grade Social Studies Home


United States History is a remarkable and fascinating subject.  It is literally the story of our country and the personal lives of those involved in that story.  Students will learn about this history by many methods in U.S. History.  We will use our book, small groups, lectures, computer lessons, projects, video and various other techniques to learn the story of our country.

The units we will cover this year are Discovery and Exploration, The 13 Colonies, The American Revolution, The Constitution, The New Republic, The Westward Movement, The Civil War, Reconstruction,  Industrialization, and Immigration.
