COURSE DESCRIPTION Academic and Honors United States History I focuses on the history of the United States from America's inception to the late 19th century. It is designed to assist students in becoming productive citizens of the American republic. In addition, it will prepare students for success in college and/or their future careers as well becoming dynamic 21st century learners. In order to accomplish these goals, students will evaluate primary and secondary source materials as well as practice other disciplines of historical scholarship. With these skills, students will be able to effectively arrive at conclusions on the basis of informed judgment, while clearly and persuasively presenting their ideas in writing and/or oral presentation. Students in this course will interact with various forms of technology including online research databases and web applications. As students move through the content they will explore the themes of American and national identity, politics and power, work, exchange, and technology, culture and society, migration and settlement, geography and the environment, and America in the world.
