US History With Mrs. Taylor
It's a great day to learn!
And We're Off!
We will move fairly quickly through our first chapter over the Early Americas and European Exploration. We will discuss the four major ancient American civilizations, followed by the key explorers and their motivation (ask your student about the "3 G's).
This 6-weeks we will also cover the establishment of the original 13 Colonies. This unit will be wrapped up with a group project called "The Colonial Fair" in which students are assigned a colony to present to the class. Their goal is to convince their classmates to move there based on the information the group provided.
In our final week of the first 6-weeks, we will observe "Celebrate Freedom Week" in which we learn about the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and Bill of Rights, and the students will have to memorize the Preamble to the Constitution within the week.
