SST 800 - Local U.S. History


In this course students will learn to integrate local history into the larger themes of middle and high school social studies. Through an examination of the history of the Merrimack Valley students will come to better understand national events. Students will use the mills to teach lessons in economics, history, geography, and civics from the colonial settlement to the cold war.  In addition, students will read the landscape of a cemetery to study changing demographics across time and be expected to find local architecture representative of America’s historical development. The use of local resources will help students make new connections across the social studies curriculum.
