SOCIAL STUDIES 8

Welcome to 8th Grade Social Studies. This year we continue the story of our great nation. We will review the issues that led to a divided nation.  By October, we will study the Civil War. Some additional topics will include the Reconstruction of our Nation, the development of the West, the Industrial Age, Immigration and Urban life, The Progressive Reform and the World Wars.  We will also have many discussions and debates on events that are shaping our world today. I look forward to a wonderful year!
