THE BIG IDEA:
What social studies skills and knowledge of United States history do we already possess?
This course if focused on the history of the United States in the so-called modern era. But our studies of the USA in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries can only benefit from knowledge of what happened before then. In this unit, we will practice and hone some of the skills that will be used throughout the course and determine what knowledge and abilities we already possess from our past work as social studies students.
