Description
First Semester:
We will begin with a review of the Founding of our Nation.  We will talk about colonial America and the American Revolution, but we will go deeper and analyze the reasons for independence and the logic behind it.  We will analyze and debate the compromises and issues that arose during our nation's early years (i.e., state vs. religion).  We will then discuss the emergence of the Industrial Revolution; the rise of the U.S. as a role power through its role in Hawaii, the Spanish-American War, and World War I; the Roaring 20s with the various events ranging from the KKK to women's rights; and finally the Great Depression.  It is during this semester that the English and history departments will join forces on assigning a research paper. 
Second Semester:
In the second semester, we start with a discussion of World War II, analyzing its major impact on the world.  We will then trace the events of the Cold War, while including the life of the 1950s.  Major focus will be placed on events such as the Vietnam War.  We will then discuss the Civil Rights Era, covering the African-American, American Indian, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, disabled, gay, and women's movements.  We will then finish the year with contemporary America focusing on the domestic policies of Presidents Eisenhower to Bush.  In this unit we will also discuss modern day issues, such as the War on Terror.

Great Depression and New Deal -

We have been reviewing each unit with a thinking map and now it is your turn to do one on your own.  You will either:

  1) identify the causes and effects of the Great Depression (including the New Deal) or 2) Trace the events of the Great Depression and New Deal. 

Use your notebook to help you with the information.

You will be graded on the following:

-Number of events/facts shown (9 pts) – Did you list at least 6 major events in your sequence?  Or, did you use at least 8 causes and effects of the Great Depression?
-Evaluation of events/facts (10 pts) – Does your map show your evaluation of an event’s or fact’s importance or level of effect (the bigger the box, the larger the impact…)? 
-Use of specific statistics (6 pts) – Did you include at least 3 pieces of specific data to support your evaluation?
-Use of thinking map (5 pts) – Did you use it correctly?
-Use of visuals and artistic effort is evident (10 pts)– Did you use visuals to show your facts?  Are the visuals neat?  Did you use color or an elaborate sketch method?
