The course begins with a review of American history from the Colonial Era to the Gilded Age, with an emphasis on the following themes: the nation s beginnings, the origins of democratic government, the rise of sectionalism and the industrial transformation of the United States. The course continues with an intensive study of the history of the United States in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The major historical units will include: the Progressive Era, World War I, the Roaring 20 s, the Great Depression and the New Deal, World War II, the Cold War and the 1950 s, the 1960 s, the 1970 s, and contemporary America. Students will develop a sense of historical connection and an appreciation of historical time. Students will trace the significant changes the country has undergone while recognizing the continuity and development of America s unique national identity; analyze how the American ideological institutions of democracy, freedom, personal rights, and opportunity have impacted

2 the course of political debate and decision, economic success and struggle, and social custom of the country. Students will develop a historical context with which they can evaluate the merits and consequences of past events. Students will relate modern America to its historical beginnings and appreciate the wisdom that is gained from deep consideration of our country s successes and failures. Emphasis is placed on students developing intellectual and academic skills, including: effective analysis of primary sources (documents, maps, statistics, and pictorial and graphic evidence), clear and precise written expression, and presentation of supported arguments. The course outline is meant to be a guide that indicates the course s breadth and depth, but does not include all activities students will complete. Two sections of this course will be offered, Traditional and Project Based. While the content covered in both sections will be the same, the key assignments will be different and are listed separately. This course was written based on The Americans: Reconstruction to the 21st Century by McDougal Littell, but was written to align with any standards based modern history textbook. Course content: Unit 1: Foundations of Early America Students completing this unit will evaluate the significant events in the founding of the nation and its attempts to realize the philosophy of government described in the Declaration of Independence. They will understand the complex series of events and influences leading to America s unique national identity, drive for independence, and governmental structure. Students will review key Enlightenment ideas and will specifically cite the inclusion of the theories of Natural Rights, Social Contract, and Popular Sovereignty in the Declaration of Independence. Students will then take an in-depth look at the Declaration of Independence, specifically determining its purpose and identifying the examples of political, economic, and military repression given by the writers as evidence justifying separation from Britain. Students will then focus on the debates at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and the resulting compromises, including the debates over representation for the large and small states leading to the Great Compromise; the counting of slaves as part of a state s population resulting in the Three-Fifths Compromise; and the size and scope of the federal government between the Federalists and Antifederalists resulting in a strong federal government in exchange for the Bill of Rights. Students will also look at the Constitution as a whole, noting the goals outlined in the Preamble, and then the purposes of the Articles that follow. Students will analyze the system of checks and balances and also articulate how the Constitution shares power between the states and the federal government. Finally, in this first unit, students will understand the issues (including slavery and federal versus state authority) that divided the nation and how opinions varied depending on geographic region and the characteristics of those regions.

3 Answering the question: For what reasons did the writers of the Declaration of Independence blame King George III for causing the colonies to break free from Britain? Students will categorize the accusations from the Declaration by themes: political, economic, and military-related and write a two to three page essay with a clearly defined thesis and carefully selected evidence to support each claim. Students will create and record a courtroom dramatization in which a colonist accused of treason is defended using ideas and phrases from the Declaration of Independence. Unit 2: Industrialization Students completing this unit will examine the effects of the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Industrial Revolution, including demographic shifts and the emergence in the late nineteenth century of the United States as a world power. They will examine the effects of rapid industrialization on the living and working conditions of everyday citizens and the large number of immigrants coming to America at this time as well as the effect industrialization had on the landscape of the nation (including the growth of cities linked by industry and trade and the development of cities divided according to race, ethnicity, and class). Students will examine ideologies and movements of the era, including an analysis of the similarities and differences between the ideologies of Social Darwinism and Social Gospel and the effect of political programs and activities of Populists and Progressives. Furthermore, students will analyze the role religion played in the founding of America, its lasting moral, social, and political impacts and issues regarding religious liberty. They will describe the contributions of various religious groups to American civic principles and social reform movements (e.g., civil and human rights, individual responsibility and the work ethic, antimonarchy and self-rule, worker protection, family-centered communities) and describe the great religious revival and the leaders involved in them, including the First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, the Civil War revivals, the Social Gospel Movement, the rise of Christian liberal theology in the nineteenth century, the impact of the Second Vatican council, and the rise of Christian fundamentalism in current times. As well as reflect on the principles of religious liberty found in the Establishment and Free Exercise clauses of the First Amendment, including the debate on the issue of separation of church and state. Students will answer the following essay question with a three page analytical essay: How were Industrialization, Immigration, and Urbanization intertwined between 1870 and 1920?

4 Students will give examples from the unit showing evidence of the connections between these three major forces. Students will read Upton Sinclair s The Jungle and communicate a description of labor conditions that existed in factories in the late 1800 s early 1900 s and their impact on various groups (e.g. meat packing industry), explain how these labor conditions were a result of industrial growth, and describe the actions taken by one reformer (Upton Sinclair) to promote change. And Using a chart created by the National Archives, students will analyze five political cartoons that represent multiple perspectives of Industrialization. Unit 3: Rise of the United States as a World Power and World War I Students completing this unit will trace the rise of the United States to its role as a world power in the twentieth century. Students will look at the themes of neutrality and isolationism that existed throughout the US and then determine the purpose and effect of policies such as the Open Door Policy, Theodore Roosevelt s Big Stick Diplomacy, William Taft's Dollar Diplomacy, and Woodrow Wilson s Moral Diplomacy, including the US s role in the Spanish-American War, Panama Revolution, expansion in the South Pacific and eventual involvement in World War I. Students will explain the events and underlying causes that lead to the United States joining allied forces and the role taken in brokering peace across Europe. Students will understand the ramifications of The Treaty of Versailles and the formatting of League of Nations. And they will understand the United States emergence on the world stage as it developed favorable trading relationships, acquired overseas territory, and displayed its military.

Selecting one historical event, they will write the stories and headlines, and explain how the newspaper reflects this concept. Unit 4: The Twenties Students completing this unit will analyze the major political, social, economic, technological, and cultural developments of the 1920s. Students begin the unit with an examination of the political themes of the twenties, including the scandal-plagued presidency of Warren G. Harding, and the hands-off principles of Calvin

5 Coolidge and Herbert Hoover and the impact of these presidents policies had on the nation. Students will also examine the deep-seated conflicts embedded in American society during the 1920s, analyzing events, interests and philosophies that prompted attacks on civil liberties, including the Palmer Raids, Marcus Garvey s back-to-africa movement, the Ku Klux Klan, and immigration quotas along with the responses of social/political organizations to those attacks. In addition, students will understand the impact the passage of the 19th Amendment had on the changing role of women in this era. Finally, students will review other developments of the 1920 s such as new trends in art and literature, the growth of radio and movies, the development of mass production techniques, and the new technologies and determine the effect these had on the prosperity and rise of consumer culture within the US. Students will answer the following Document Based Question in a two page essay: How did new consumer goods, the introduction of mass-marketing, and the expansion of credit impact Americans in the 1920s? Students will locate three newspaper advertisements from the 1920s for modern conveniences such as a refrigerator, washing machine, or automobile and a variety of quotations from which to pull evidence to support their own thesis. Students will write a series of editorial articles (or video record a series of at least three editorial newscasts) discussing major social, political, economic events of the time. Each should be written from the 1920s perspective with an opinion and solution structure. For example, students may write about prohibition, women s suffrage, the bull market, or other major topic of the 1920 s. Unit 5: The Great Depression and the New Deal Students completing this unit will analyze the different explanations for the Great Depression and how the New Deal fundamentally changed the role of the federal government.
