What is American Studies? Interdisciplinary course that uses history and literature to trace the path of the United States in the 20 th Century?

Multisensory Lots of visuals, video clips Student Presentations daily Holistic –We study wars, laws, presidents, music, literature, sports, trends

We begin with America at the turn of the Century.

The first half of the year we see America dealing with the effects of the Industrial Revolution, WWI, and the Roaring 20s.

Later in the year we will study:

The last 125 years had an enormous impact on the way you live today.

America became a nation of incredible technological feats

America became a nation known for peace.

America became a nation known for its military power.

America became a “tale of two nations”.

America is a nation both envied and despised by much of the world.

Ultimately our goal is to help you shape your own views as to what the America of the future should be like by using the past 100 years as a guide.

Some things to look forward to this year. Guest Speakers –Mr. Zanzinger –Mr. Cooper, Mr. Heuwitt Class Trip –To Washington Movie Days Being taught by Mr. Reilly and Mr. Morris every day!!!!!

Have a historical year, literally!!
