History Department

6th Grade: Ancient World History
We’re going to expand our understanding of ancient world history by taking a closer look at the people and events that led to the emergence of the major ancient civilizations of the world. In this class, we’ll be studying geography in the development and progression of the human story, from the Paleolithic era until the development of the Roman Empire. What were the lives of early humans like? What were their experiences, problems, successes, and milestones? How did they contribute to the development of social, economic, and political progress?  What were their roles in forming and disseminating ideas that helped change the world forever?
 
Together, we’ll engage our critical thinking muscles as well as our creativity as we consider why, where, and when these ancient civilizations developed, why they dominated their time, and why they ultimately declined or ceased to exist.
 
Let’s find the link between our contemporary lives and ancient worlds!

7th Grade: World History
We’re going to expand our understanding of world history by taking a closer look at the people, geography, and technological & cultural shifts of medieval and early modern times. What was the human story after the fall of Rome? What were the lives of medieval humans like? What were their experiences, problems, successes, and milestones? How did they contribute to the development of social, economic, and political progress?  What were their roles in forming and disseminating ideas that helped change the world forever?
 
Together, we’ll engage our critical thinking muscles as well as our creativity as we consider why, where, and when these civilizations developed, why they dominated their time, and how they may have impacted our modern world.

8th Grade: US History
We’re going to expand our understanding of the United States by taking a closer look at the people and events that led to the emergence and evolution of what would become our modern way of life. In this class, we’ll be studying geography in the development and progression of the human story, from the time of the American Revolution, up until our involvement in World War I, and beyond! What were the lives of these revolutionaries like? What led to the framing of the Constitution, and what was the cost of the creation of The United States of America? What were the most notable experiences, problems, successes, and milestones during this time? How did they contribute to the development of social, economic, and political progress?  In what ways did they fall short of this kind of progress? In what ways did the dawn and development of the United States contribute to the modern world, and the development of other nations?
