Students will 

1

 

 

demonstrate an understanding of the interpretative nature of history using a variety of tools (e.g., primary and secondary sources, Internet, timelines, maps, data):

b

 

examine multiple cause-effect relationships that have shaped history (e.g., showing how a series of events are connected)

 

 2

 

 

analyze how the United States participates with the global community to maintain and restore world peace (e.g., League of Nations, United Nations, Cold War politics, Persian Gulf War), and evaluate the impact of these efforts

 

 3

 

 

research issues or interpret accounts ofhistorical events in U.S. history using primary and secondary sources (e.g., biographies, films, periodicals, Internet resources, textbooks, artifacts):

explain how the rise of big business, factories, mechanized farming, and the labor movement have impacted the lives of Americans

e

 

evaluate how the Great Depression, New Deal policies, and World War II transformed America socially and politically at home (e.g., stock market crash, relief, recovery, reform initiatives,increased role of government in business, influx of women into workforce, rationing) and reshaped its role in world affairs (emergence of the U.S. as economic and political superpower)
