Description
The U.S. History: Colonial America-1877, is designed to help students in grades 9-12 engage and understand significant events, peoples, ideas, and eras of the second half of the American history survey. Content is divided into 10 modules explored over a 4 week session. Major political, social, economic, cultural, and military events are analyzed in the context of United States domestic, international, and global affairs.
Please note that this course is an abbreviated course. Therefore, the course does not cover a full curriculum with the same depth that is covered in a semester-long course. Students are expected to work approximately 8-10 hours per week. In addition, if the student is taking this course for credit recovery or initial credit, it is strongly advised that you check with the student's school to confirm that the topics covered (see course syllabus) match those required by the school. You may also want to confirm with the school the process for receiving credits, which may involve an assessment administered separately by the school.
Prerequisites
