small medium large Course Description: Students will explore the political, social, cultural and economic changes in American history to enable them to grasp a more complete and accurate story of their nation’s past. They will examine American history from its first inhabitants, its European origins, the battles of the Civil War, and the re-formation of a “United” States. Ultimately, the course will provide students with an appreciation for their nation’s rich cultural diversity and an understanding of the development of the American character in a democratic society. Required Text: America: Pathways to the Present by Cayton, Perry, Reed and Winkler (school supplied) Additional documents/handouts will be distributed in class Course Expectations: 1. Attendance and Participation: Daily attendance is essential and class participation is expected. You are responsible for all work covered in class. In the event you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to obtain notes from that day and to have all assigned work completed in a timely manner. It is recommended that you exchange phone numbers with another student in the class so you may stay current with any missed work. Consistent lateness and/or disruptive behavior will result in a phone call to your parents. 2.

Notes will take several forms such as outlines, class discussions, and graphic organizers. You are required to bring a notebook to class each day. 3.
