odern American History is a year-long class that follows the development of the United States after the Civil War and concludes with an analysis of current issues and where we may be headed based on the lessons we have learned from our past.
This class emphasizes the development of historical literacy skills and a functional understanding of modern United States history through inquiry-based learning. Special attention is paid to the social, political, economic and religious trends of each time period, as well as to recurring themes across time periods, and to citizens' access to, and involvement with, our democracy throughout.
Modern American History is aligned with Eras 6-10 of the national standards for United States history.
