Fall/Spring 2019-2020
11th Grade, Mr. Taylor
Course Syllabus
Materials:
Each student will be required to have a notebook, spiral or 3-ring which will be graded. Each student will be assigned a textbook: United States History: The Twentieth Century. (Pearson) which must be returned at the end of the year. Course: This course is a state requirement for graduation. We will be covering the history of this country from the Columbian Exchange thru Trumpism. It is vital that our students understand how and why we have arrived at our current position on a global stage. Students will have a deeper understanding of the politics, sectionalism, and social divides we have and will continue to experience in this country. At the end of the course all students will be required to answer the following question; How has the U.S. achieved the success and stature we enjoy in the 21st Century. Explain the 3 most important events, people, or actions in your opinion that has made this possible. I intend to challenge these students to think outside of their comfort zones and try to understand the causes and effects of U.S. history.
