Description
UNITED STATES HISTORY * Prerequisite: None Grade 11 1 Year Students in United States History analyze the identity, diversity and culture of the American experience, linking America’s past to the present. Exploring the democracy and free enterprise of the United States, students critically view the character of America and Americans. Major topics include: the national embodiment of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness; tensions between the individual and the state; extension of equal rights; expansion of the American way of life; surviving and thriving in a global economy; and the United States’ role in the world. Assessment of historical materials -- including persuasive writing and at least one research paper -- underscores fundamental elements of the course: the ability to weigh evidence, interpret logically and argue persuasively. Coursework strives to motivate students to be active and responsible citizens, voters, taxpayers -- stewards of the American experience.
