study of history establishes a foundation for understanding the past, living the present,
and contemplating the future. Through the use of traditional textbooks, primary source
readings, and thought-provoking media presentations, the teacher invites the student to
explore not only the when, the who, and the where, but also the why. Students are
encouraged to make history a personal trek, an enlightening endeavor, a maturing process.
Students go beyond factual learning by completing a variety of cooperative and individual
projects. A traditional research paper is not required. The goal of the course is to
provide an understanding of major trends in U.S. history, and the historical background
necessary for success in the U.S. government course. This is a community college (2 year
college) preparatory course. |
