Students will be taken down an American timeline that begins at the Revolutionary War and ends in current day events. We will use PowerPoint presentation, a KWL approach in each class, and discussion throughout.  The class will be in a format where students can come and go from week to week.  Although we will progress down a timeline, each class will be its own stand alone history class.
