CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting my page. I will do my best update this page with helpful links for my classroom. As of now with the current situation we will not be meeting in the classroom for a little while. My page has a contact form for you to reach me, and my new office hours will be Tuesday, and Thursday 8 - 12. You can arrange calls, zoom meetings, and other topics with me during that time. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I highly suggest that students continue to check my classroom page because I hope to continue to add additional material for everyone to review during this time. Thank you visiting my page!
A look at what your student will be learning with me this year.
Eighth grade students will study the European settlement of North America and the role geographic features played in the early settlement of Thirteen Colonies. Students will examine the development and maturation of the Thirteen Colonies and the political, cultural, and economic influences that led to the American Revolution. Students will analyze the major events and outcomes of the American Revolution as well as the individuals who played influential roles in the development of the new nation. Students will follow the development of the United States and its government, continuing through the early 19th century. Students will analyze the impact of the expansion and sectionalism of the U.S., including implications on domestic and foreign policy. Students will also study policies that affected American Indians and African Americans. Finally, students will examine the major events and issues leading up to the Civil War, individuals and events that were significant during the war, and the resulting era of Reconstruction.
This course is designed to meet the Tennessee Social Studies Content Standards for 8th grade. Our goal is to create a safe and structured learning environment for all students. I expect all students to be involved in their own education and to take pride in achievement.
