1 COURSE OVERVIEW The U.S. History course is centered on the belief that Historical events have social, economic, and political consequences Given this assertion, the emphasis of the course becomes the relationship among historical events rather than a chronological study of isolated events or people. The scope and sequence of the course is designed to highlight themes, processes, and causal relationships between events in order to communicate that history is a process of continuity as well as change. Utilizing this approach, coupled with a variety of instructional methods and learning strategies will result in an increased ability to recognize and analyze the connection between historical events and present circumstances and conditions. The National Council of the Social Studies (NCSS) validates the thematic approach through its own ten thematic strands of social studies and the goal of adopting common and multiple perspectives on historical events.
