U.S. History [KHO3165] 
Year Course
Prerequisite: None
This course emphasizes U.S. History in the 20th century. It combines a traditional approach of cause and effect relationships presented in chronological order with an interactive program of skill-oriented tasks. Students will increase skills in writing, reading, and listening, as they learn about the origins and development of America’s government, economy, society, and culture. To complement the text, students will be engaged in problem-solving activities in groups, and other skill-oriented tasks, that encourage the use of multiple intelligences to view, touch, interpret, and act out historical events. To ensure that students become future participants in the American political process, emphasis will be placed on understanding important features of the structure and function of government, and awareness of current issues. A standard research term paper or National History Day project will be completed to enhance student’s critical thinking and writing skills.
