Over this year ~ you will be Studying about our country.  The Life and Lives, the Geography and Climate ~ Growth and Conflict 











US HIsotry Framework:    The eighth grade course of study begins with an intensive review of the major ideas, issues, and events that shaped the founding of the nation. In their study of this era, students will view American history through the lens of a people who were trying—and are still trying—to fulfill the promise of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Throughout their eighth grade United States history and geography course, students will confront the themes of freedom, equality, and liberty and their changing definitions over time. This course will also explore the geography of place, movement, and region, starting with the Atlantic Seaboard and then exploring American westward expansion and economic development, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and finally, industrialization.  Covering parts of three centuries, the historical content outlined in this chapter is both substantial and substantive, which poses a significant challenge for teachers, with limited time for in-depth study. In order to address this challenge, this chapter is organized into five large sections that incorporate relevant questions that can help students understand how individual events and people comprise a larger narrative explanation of our past.
As students learn American history from the late 1700s through the end of the nineteenth century, they will develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills that will enhance their understanding of the content. As in earlier grades, students should be taught that history is an investigative discipline, one that is continually reshaped based on primary-source research and on new perspectives that can be uncovered. Students should be encouraged to read multiple primary and secondary documents; to understand multiple perspectives; to learn about how some things change over time and others tend not to; and they should appreciate that each historical era has its own context and it is up to the student of history to make sense of the past on these terms and by asking questions about it.

CCS History/Social Studies = Standards:


RH.6-8.1 = Students can cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources.

RH.6-8.2 = Students can determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source:  provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.

RH.6-8.3 = Students can identify key steps in a text’s description of a process related to history/social studies (e.g., how a bill becomes law, how interest rates are raise or lowered).

RH.6-8.4 = Students can determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary specific to domains related to history/social studies.

RH.6-8.5 = Students can describe how a text presents information (e.g., sequentially, comparatively, causally).

RH.6-8.6 = Students can identify aspects of a text that reveal an author’s point of view or purpose (e.g., loaded language, inclusion or avoidance of particular facts). 

RH.6-8.7 = Students can integrate visual information (e.g., in charts, graphs, photographs, videos, or maps) with other information in print and digital texts.

RH.6-8.8 = Students can distinguish among fact, opinion, and reasoned judgment in a text. 

RH.6-8.9 = Students can analyze the relationship between a primary and secondary source on the same topic.
